Description | "Migratory birds come and go between seasonal places of residence. But, as opposed to the people forced to emigrate, they never look back, never lose their bearing. It is not so easy for wingless beings to respond to the necessity or the chance having prompted expatriation. And since the loss of the habitual order which follows the departure is first and foremost a loss of words, it is even more difficult to account for it. In the attempt to describe an existential translation, which seldom fails to materialise in terms of eccentricity, one finds oneself caught up between incompatible sights and different senses of duration. Clinging to appearances with the kind of silence on the tip of the tongue which makes one search for more intelligible trances, one errs in the distance which separates its former estate from the present circumstances. It is such a distance which I wish to evoke in this paper: the exile of the self into a language without culture." | |||||||
