Detail

We can not resist the ultimate and peremptory nature of communication. In the communicative process, part of our attention is alienated and tightly adheres to the object, forming a single organ alienated from us, which no longer obeys us, but enjoins us. In conversation, our throat, the air through which sound waves pass and the ears of the listener form an organic unity that has some kind of autonomy. We are not able to break this unity at the level at which it occurs. We can not stop perceiving a communicative message — it arises too quick, so that we can decide to see or not see, hear or not hear, understand or not. We use each other's communicative organs as our own, we just take your eyes right now at our control to convey this message to you.
