SPECULUM REALITATIS

This book approaches the problem of representation from different thematic and conceptual biases. Cartography, cinema, painting, and theory as such intertwine like a labyrinth to elucidate the scope of representation.In its pages we will find authors as diverse and at the same time as close to each other as Ludwig Wittgenstein, Plotino, Vincent van Gogh and the Lumière brothers, who join hands in a symphony that unites antiquity, modernity and the changes that occurred in culture at the point of the nineteenth to the twentieth century.The texts that make up this book are the result of research carried out by the author during his stay at the National University of La Plata, Argentina.
