'What is at stake, for those like us who are outside of discourse and inside the word, outside of categories but inside linguistic acts, for us who refuse to be reduced to objects and demand the power to produce ourselves as subjects, maybe is this: to what extent can the exodus from a world we don’t recognise as ours be not only resistance but also production? To what extent can refusal and critique also be moments of invention for everyone? How to speak a different language and still be understood? This is ‘communication’ but we might call it politics, or we might call it life.' (Judith Revel, 'Idee, Parole, Linguaggio')
