Abstract

VARGAS QUIROZ, Andrea Paola. I LIKE YOUR SHORT-SIGHTED EYES (OR CONVERSATION WITH HÉLÈNE CIXOUS TO TAKE THE BODY TO LITERATURE, TO LIFE). La Palabra [online]. 2014, n.25, pp.143-156. ISSN 0121-8530.

The objective of this article is to demonstrate the writing position of Hélène Cixous as a myopic practice, which constitutes the foundation for an aesthetic of writing as seeing without seeing. The comparative method puts into contact the birth of writing through myopia, embodiment theory by Ellie Epp (2005) and the nature of the work of art by Maurice Blanchot (2012). It is concluded that in order to root the position of seeing without seeing of artists, it is necessary to maintain a myopic equilibrium between the conscious and the unconscious, in its relation to language, subjectivity and life.

Keywords : Writing; artistic creation; myopia.
