Corpi tracciati e accadere dell’evento. Figure della distanza a partire dal pensiero di Carlo Sini

Carlo Sini’s reflection on language can be understood as an attempt to show a way out of the impasse into which a tradition that has sought to reduce meaning to the truth of the logos has fallen. This reflection unfolds along two axes: on the one hand, the idea that all interpretation is both signification of the Event and the happening of signification as the Event of the difference; on the other hand, the articulation of an archaeology of the linguistic gesture that allows us to reveal simultaneously both the specificity of linguistic practice and its emergence from pre-linguistic practices of life. Both the thinking of the event as the occurrence of difference and the inscription of the problem of meaning beyond the logical-linguistic dimension reflect the need to place the problem of language on a purely ethical terrain.
