Liviana Messina argues that there is no specific language, no specific ear to stop us before the violent act. We can only traverse violence within the structure that makes it possible. It is linguistic structure; the one that makes violence occur in silence, but makes violence part of our silence. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
