Kurt #Thumlert(2011, pp. 171-172): “The political dilemma of ‘writing’ is not simply that it distorts Truth, but that it ‘wanders aimlessly without knowing who to speak to or who not to speak to’ (Rancière 2004. , 13). This defines the ‘politics of writing’, which has nothing to do with the politics of the person who did the writing: what matters isn’t the content of the message, but the fact that an orphaned word or image-text has no immediate addressee. By ‘not knowing’, that is, by being ‘dead’ to the status or condition of the one who apprehends the mediating term, the image-text discoordinates any legitimate ordering of ‘discourse with bodies’, any clean linkage between the intentions of words and their (ideal) effects upon (known) auditors.”
