TOSCANO LOPEZ, Daniel Gihovani. Michel Foucault and René Magritte: certain elective affinities. Folios [online]. 2009, n.30, pp.89-98. ISSN 0123-4870.

This essay is not about the differences between Michel Foucault and René Magritte. It is about their relationships. We must attend to the possibility not only of stimulating a dialogue between both characters but also, and above all, of overcoming sense logic. In order to do this, first we study the concepts of paradox and rarity as characteristic features of both of them. Second, we must think of philosophy and art as toolkits for the reflection. Third, we will analyze the affinity between word and image as an important element at play here. Finally, we will perform a thematization of their works.

Palabras clave : Affinities; paradox; rarity; philosophy; art; works.
