Retreat and collect reading and writing: for an aesthetical assemblage of thought

Abstract

Abstract This article aims to explore, by means of education, philosophy and visual arts, the aesthetical possibilities of reading and writing. Therefore, a conversation is drawn authors and authoress, the stoic philosopher Seneca, the Walter Benjamin, the image philosopher Didi-Huberman, and the plastic artist Elida Tessler, to think the concepts of collection and assembling about writing and reading to think the difference. In this way, rather than understanding reading and writing as informative functions, the article discusses its political, aesthetical, and ethical dimensions that crosses modes of existence in the present, like a phosphorus that sparks in a moment.
