| Sumario: | From a Bergsonian perspective that equals matter to image, this work undertakes an investigation of the possible relationship between two types of images: images produced by astronomical observation and cinematic images. Through the example of the eclipse –an astronomical event of misleading reality– we begin asking about historical changes in the conceptions of the sky. For this purpose we presuppose a paradoxical relationship between sky and thought which, borrowing the Levistraussian idea of a floating significant, puts both terms in a state of immeasurable relationship. From this scheme, we move on to analyze the well-known trope according to which the birth of modernity would rest on the breaking down of the hierarchies and orientations of the Aristotelian Cosmos. Evaluating our contemporary situation through an inability to extract meaning from the sky, we are led to take Deleuze’s reading of Bergson as a guide to find in cinema a possible way out of our contemporary impasse: the modern heritage that lies in a structural homology between ontological dualism and epistemological naturalism. |
