Theoretical approaches to the issue of Perception and Writing Images: Montage as procedure

Abstract

Since the early 20th century, perception works by montage in a creative way. Like in alephs, everything has infinite centres of information which trigger various and different interpretations through their possible relations: perceiving is to create a montage of heterogeneus elements. In Borges’ «Aleph» several image theories developed in the 20th century are questioned and also two ways of montage –sintagmatic and paradigmatic– are displayed, approaching words either to speech or to image. Daneri and Borges, two ways of writing images, how does each one of them set the montage of their own writing of the «Aleph»?
