The Badiou / Beckett device and the Aristophan episode of "croaking of frogs"
The present article hypothesizes about the comparative possibilities between the Aristophanic episode known as “the croaking of frogs”, a hypotext in Greek comedic tradition, and its revisitation as a “noise-event” both in Watt by Samuel Beckett (1906- 1989) and Citrouilles by Alain Badiou.

I28-R244-article-79792020-06-10T20:07:31Z The Badiou / Beckett device and the Aristophan episode of "croaking of frogs" El dispositivo Badiou/ Beckett y el episodio aristofánico del “croar de las ranas” Romero, Walter croaking nomination lack of communication event noise Croar nominación incomunicación acontecimiento sonoridad The present article hypothesizes about the comparative possibilities between the Aristophanic episode known as “the croaking of frogs”, a hypotext in Greek comedic tradition, and its revisitation as a “noise-event” both in Watt by Samuel Beckett (1906- 1989) and Citrouilles by Alain Badiou. The frog episode (Βάτραχοι) of Aristophanes (444-385 BC) is rewritten by both contemporary authors around the notions of nomination and lack of communication. Badiou’s interest, both as a philosopher and as a playwright, is to redefine the figures of inarticulacy and the conflicts between being and language based on Beckett’s dramatic postulates: the way in which the Irish author rewrites in Watt the episode of the croaking of frogs and the way in which the author of Being and Event, a great reader and scholar of Beckett, articulates, in his own production, the possible relations between Aristophanes and Beckett as central dramatic authors in his own experience and practice. El presente artículo hipotetiza las posibilidades comparatísticas que se establecen entre el episodio artistofánico conocido como “el croar de las ranas”, hipotexto de la tradición comediográfica griega, y su revisitación tanto en Watt de Samuel Beckett (1906-1989) como Citrouilles de Alain Badiou como “acontecimiento-ruido”. El episodio de Ranas (Βάτραχοι) de Aristófanes (444 a. C.-385 a. C.) aparece reescrito en ambos autores contemporáneos en torno al fénome de la nominación y la incomunicación. El interés de Badiou, en tanto filósofo y dramaturgo, es redefinir figuraciones de la inarticulación y conflictos entre el ser y el lenguaje en base a los postulados dramáticos de Beckett: la forma en que el autor irlandés reescribe en Watt el episodio del croar de las ranas y la manera en que el autor de El ser y el acontecimiento, gran lector y estudioso de Beckett, articula, en su propia producción dramatúrgica, las relaciones posibles entre Aristófanes y Beckett como autores dramáticos centrales en su propia experiencia y práctica dramatúrgica.
