To Say what cannot be Said: Adorno and the expression as formative attitude

Abstract:

We propose to discuss in this article the concept of expression present in Theodor Adorno’s philosophy. The goal is to think of it as a formative praxis attitude. By transforming theory into a truly finished corpus, practice is thought-provoking, and therefore instrumentalizes formation. In order to break the logic of the language of effectiveness, characteristic of practice, we find in the idea of expression a possible space for the revitalization or critical reconfiguration of this formative logic, i.e. we find in it a theory as a residue of hope.

Keywords:
Expression; Practice; Theory; Education; Theodor Adorno
