VIGLIONE, María Paula. On the Concept of das Ausdruckslose in Walter Benjamin. Bol. estét. [online]. 2022, n.61, pp.11-20.  Epub 31-Dez-2022. ISSN 2408-4417.  http://dx.doi.org/10.36446/be.2022.61.310.

This paper aims to analyze the concept of das Ausdruckslose (expressionless) as a central category of art and language in the thought of Walter Benjamin. This notion is studied mainly in the writings of the period 1916-1923 and as part of the Benjaminian methodology of interpretation that involves criticism, translation, and citation. From a recovery and discussion with the critical studies on the subject, the concept of das Ausdruckslose is interpreted as a dialectical point between the profane order and the messianic order that operates in the field of the work of art, history, and language.
