Inventing the impossible to come: esthetics and politics

Abstract

What is invention? What´s its relationship with the tradition which invention comes to interrupt? This questions will guide the itinerary we propose. Through its developement, the classic understanding of the invention, that points out its original and disruptive character, will be questioned. The consideration of the avant-garde of Adorno and Horkheimer, the seek on a destituent power of Agamben and Borges´ conception of writing will be the preamble to the analysis of the impossible invention made by Derrida. In this tour esthetics and politics may be articulated, in order to find an emancipatory thought which announce otherwise than politics.
