Till, We Meet Again

[shemthepenman]

I think the only word that actually is what it is and not just a symbol of what it represents is 'word' ?

that’s funny. but no. 
however, if you haven’t already, i would suggest reading Wittgenstein. and a deleuzian close reading can bend him over and bugger him with sartre’s “sketch for a theory of the emotions” and arrive at the simple salient fact that far from words being symbolic representations of reality, they are a kind of inverted kantian transcendental concept which systematically invents reality. we do not shriek because we are afraid, but rather are afraid because we shriek.
