De los límites del lenguaje o el lenguaje de los límites

Abstract

Given any limit its transgression is made possible and simultaneously the possibility of a "thought on the outside" as defined by Michel Foucault. Its language, using the same words, is one "in between", at the limit. It is thus possible to think the unthinkable. We owe Roland Barthes three pairs of notions that belong to this perspective: The obvious/obtuse; pleasure/ joy of the text; Studium/Punctum. These demonstrate the limits of language, not only in its' verbal form, lending the limit itself a special value.
