The native language
The native language is a language that persists, and a language that is addressed, a language of the weak. The style of the work of art is an enclosure, in the infinity of its contemplation, in this gaze of the other. The work, this singular being, becomes apparent, becomes the place of his emotion, the place of ultimately his attraction. The own language, the language of the self, is thus subordinated to the scene of the other, to a scene that transcends it, but also constitutes it at the same time. "We are in the heart of openness", as Kristeva would say, in a privileged field of art. This is also the silence of the work, the most profound silence of the language, which draws the world beyond its signs, to this place of the impossible, which is also the place of its secret pleasure. The inside that becomes Outside, the Other that inhabits itself, this uniqueness of experience in the universe of similarities.
