De la tomadura de pelo como síntoma de la modernidad: animación y recursividad

Abstract

The aesthetics of animation have long been eclipsed as a theoretical discipline. At present and confronted with the creative and conceptual crisis which appears to affect the field of cinematography in particular, it seems especially appropriate to draw attention to the animated figure itself. The crisis which the moving image is experiencing (new formats, uses, technology, interaction, etc.), finds in the resourceful character of this medium a new point of reference for investigation. And in light of this consideration, the rediscovery, in all his modernity, of the figure of Tex Avery as animator is unquestionably valuable.
