RAMIREZ RAVE, Juan Manuel. SAY THE UNSPEAKABLE. IMAGINATION AS A LAST RESOURCE. Linguist.lit. [online]. 2021, n.79, pp.466-481. Epub 22-Nov-2022. ISSN 0120-5587. https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.lyl.n79a26.
This article presents antecedents of the aesthetics of silence as a human need to say the unspeakable and testify to the limitations and the insufficiency of language. First, it traces the rust of signs as the mark of a writer who lacks words, or whose words are insufficient. Then, it states the crisis of language as a phenomenon in which the image of the world cannot be grasped through the linguistic code. As a conclusion, contemporary society is conceived as a muted and deaf tribe for whom the imagination is the last resource to say the unspeakable.
