Non-discursive creation: painting/film

Abstract

This paper addresses a thematic particular linked to Michel Foucault´ and Gilles Deleuze´s concerns, in order to investigate the way in which film –in a cartography closed to other arts– shows and tells. Following Deleuze, the act of creation is inextricably linked to a mode of expression, to a field, a discipline –in short, a practice–. In this context, our goal is to discover some unique creative operations –that is, proper, exclusive– of which, almost without a doubt, can be estimated a capital object for our culture. We thus explore certain existing links between film and painting on the horizon traced by these thinkers.
