The memory of Silence

Abstract

In our contemporary age, the body becomes a visible instrument of a double eviction - of feeling and of meaning - in narrations that sustain a deaf form of disquiet. I shall reflect here upon the new calligraphies of death. One of the expressions of that search for a deep signification of the body is expressed in the ways of incision of the real-bodies-of-disease in the public reality, thus giving rise to another relation between body, life, disease, fear and death.
