Diferencia y paradoja. Ser y sentido en el montaje audiovisual

Abstract

This article describes some of Jean-Luc Godard's montage strategies in light of the ontology of difference and the semantics of paradox that philosopher Gilles Deleuze raises in Difference and Repetition and Logic of Sense, respectively. Through differential audiovisual montage, I aim to define and interpret new modes of collective enunciation and relationships between what is deemed objective and subjective in order to undercut representational forms of identity. Then, I focus on the concept of the paradox to examine drifts and deviations in meaning in films such as Ici et ailleurs and Numero deux. These analytical approaches underscore novel audiovisual montage strategies that go beyond the hegemonic regulatory norms of mainstream cinema.
