Abstract

This article seeks to explore the connections between vision and tale, touch and look, as a search of what originates and produces vision. In this regard, the act of seeing will be presented as the staging of the artwork process, where there is an encounter with the openness, and with the fracture of the unit. This will allow us to reflect about the production of the look, as a course that meets with the openness, with the distance, with what can’t be seen, which is the distance’s deficit, but also, what touches it inescapably. In this way, tale, look and touch form a relationship that leads us to what appears, in the process of searching, as the ineluctable cleavage of the act of seeing, which is present in different moments of our culture, that are referred to the search of the origin, and to the construction of a look that unfolds in the tale. From Didi-Hubermann’s The ineluctable scission of seeing and its relation with Joyce’s Ulysses, we can establish the connections that lead us to the paths that open when there’s an encounter with what can be touched, and with the vision.
