Woman
Language
is prima facie in all human
affairs. We do not say language has been seduced, or that woman has
been expropriated, but were we not speaking we would hardly know we were
thinking. From the child to civilization, woman is as primary as
language, for everything we are and have of life is of and from the
woman who has come under extreme assault. Greek myth and the corruption
of the human genome by hybrid creation is an instance of this. Agamben
below begins to tell how language is overturned against itself. Even
though specialists might skew language into one pen or another and even
though language is the only subject any of us are talking about (that is
a pun, but barely), its uses in all things from Genesis, Socrates, Dada
overwhelm. That language and woman are turned against themselves proves
their first position in human life. From the moment the male is
differentiated from the female zygote after conception, to childbirth
and the nurture of life beyond, to the grave, the assailant knew that to
defeat human life it was necessary to subvert woman and overturn the
word. How these assaults occur, what they are, what measures of defense,
is the subject to these statutes.
