Résumé :
Chapter 2 further examines Adorno's comparison between thinking and clowning through a reading of Charlie Chaplin's famous mirror maze scene in The Circus. The confrontation, staged by this scene, between concrete and abstract forms and reflections prompts the following question: how can we come to recognise, navigate, and build upon—as opposed to getting impossibly lost within—the abstract structures of language and thought? In the words of Chaplin's tramp, ‘How d’we get out of here?’
