- Summary:
- The book is about languages before, or outside, sense (Sinn) and meaning (Deutung). It does not concern language as a tool for digital communication, but "languages" as expressions in children, autistic persons, aphasics, Pentecostals, and performances of glossolalia in poetry, religion and delusion. The book presents reference to Theatre (Antonin Artaud); Literature, including Louis Wolfson, Daniel Schreber, the last days of Friedrich Hölderlin, Lewis Carroll's "Through the Looking Glass" portmanteau words, James Joyce's Finnegans Wake, Maurice Blanchot's narrative; and other art forms such as Meta-Semantic Poetry, singing voices and refrains. At the same time - and in connection with the literature, ritual chants, voices and expressions - the book analyses Melanie Klein's psychoanalytic theory from a Deleuzian point of view: how it works the Kleinian "schizoid position" in the "body without organs" Deleuzian theory. It is a book in-between psychotherapy (psychoanalysis, ethno-clinics, systemic transcultural psychotherapy) and literature/poetry. It is a distinctive and original conceptual exploration, connecting clinical psychology with literature, but also with neurology, psychiatric discourses, ethnography and cognitive psychology.
