Summary/Abstract: The article is dedicated to the affi nities between the works of two twentieth-century philosophers, one belonging to the Frankfurt school, and the other to the so-called tradition of ‘deconstruction.’ For both authors, the central philosophical concept was mimesis, and both understood it as the non-identity responsible among other things also for the historical phenomenon of idenitarian rationality. Differences in the interpretation of mimesis by both authors have to do with its realization in art: to Adorno, this realization implied objectiva-tion, embodiment; to Lacoue-Labarthe, mimesis was in principle impossible to objectify and its authentic existence was one of ambivalence and hesitation.
