| Summary: | To blur, or even to abolish, hierarchies and to bring down the enclosures of identity – such are the new paths that one of the strains of modern and contemporary aesthetics, represented here by Rémy Tissier’s Le Dédale des disciples, sets out to explore. The present article aims to study the frictions through which hierarchies are dissolved and heterogeneity is generated at the linguistic level, giving rise to an aesthetics of “disquiet”. In a two-step argument, an analysis of linguistic “hierarchy “is first offered, showing that languages, even Lilliputian ones, are as many keys to approach reality, thereby enhancing the differences that matter. Every language is the guardian of a portion of the meaning of human experience. Hence the need to strike somewhat of a balance between languages, as a sign of respect for each one of them and to preserve their dignity. The second part of the study addresses the predictive dimension of the transgressive option, to conclude that the value of multilingualism is likely to reside in its ability both to shatter absolutism and to set the machinery of relativity to work at full speed, towards a better goal and a better destiny for all of mankind. |
