Composition: between concepts and insights for the thinking of models in the history of literature and the modern arts

Abstract

This article is about a composition concept in modern art and literature history and theory. It develops the composition concept in its philosophical treatment, using the Deleuze / Guattari’s concept. The text presents the relationship between composition and aesthetics aura (Benjamin / Didi-Huberman) and the contraposition (dialectical) between aesthetics aura and religious aura. These composition-aura relations promote an epistemological / paradigmatic analysis about the relations between technique and aesthetic. In a second moment, the relations are amplified, involving intertextuality and postmodern and rethoric studies. The focus of this analysis is the vanguardistic literature and experimental novel (XIX – XX centuries).
