Abstract:The verbal aggressiveness Beckett manifests in art criticism resonates with a constantly violent relationship to saying and seeing. The author denounces in an authoritarian manner the abuse of the powers of language over the eye : both in his texts and in discourses he forces the spectators of his television films to hear or deliver. Beyond the equivalence of “ill seen ill said”, it seems to bring to the fore the vulnerability of the seen with regards to the devastating incompetence of the said.
