The negativity of language and the voice in Giorgio Aganben

Abstract

The articles reviews the relationship between language and death, from the book in which G. Agamben treats the fundamental negativity of the being of language and being of man as dialectical motors that enable the very opening of the being in the place of language, supported by the negativity of his Voice. Added to that, we raise questions about the status of language in contemporary societies.
