| Abstract | |
This research supports the hypothesis that the concept of figural, largely developed by the philosopher Jean-François Lyotard in his 1971s doctoral thesis Discours, Figure has roots more archaic than those put in motion by the aesthetic discussion. Without supplanting the importance of the concept for the aesthetic, our hypothesis will examine the first published works and unpublished author\'s archives the idea that the fundamental questions that the concept seeks to address were already in place since 1954, and these issues were political in nature. Thus, we seek to retrace the path from the crisis of Marxism and the issue of the relationship between theory and practice to the problem of the relashionship between art and politics. We also will show that the bridge that unite these two moments is constructed through Freudian psychoanalytic theory. We can say that this work is constituted as a genesis of the figural concept.
