摘要：The following text revolves around a contrast in the form of a chiasm: the human skin of the word is the word of human skin, of its orifices and crevices. Halfway between a phenomenology of the life-world and quasi-surrealistic automatic writing, we attempt per impossibile to restore its rights to the living and speaking body, to allow the ear to speak (Heidegger), the eye to smell (Heraclitus), and the hands to look (Lucretius) – an exercise in synesthesia not devoid of a certain irony. In the process, the rules of writing are rendered as flexible, not to say evanescent, as they were in the beginnings of writing (in ancient Greek, for example, where no separation between words was even marked). Thus written language twists and turns against itself and, in accordance with the teachings of the Platonic dialogue Phaedrus, becomes a spur for oral, and corporeal communication, rather than simply replacing it. This is why we ask the reader to let himself be carried along by the flow of language, instead of attempting intellectually to recombine the fixed, rigid, clear and distinct units of meaning that serve to transform living speech into an instrument of domination.
