58: a gripping example of these possibilities
appeared in the film APOCALYPSE NOW;
a young soldier is unexpectedly killed while listening to a tape-recorded message from his mother,
and his comrades look on in horror as she lovingly urges him to be careful and return home safely.
Similarly, but more than any previous form of machine-mediated communication, the Internet decouples,
in both space & time, the process of speaking from the process of listening,
while permitting a high degree of immediacy & richness.
The construction of cultural meanings ~ community, identity, place ~
surrounding the act of Internet Communication, is a natural and unsurprising aspect of human behavior,
but (as the anthropologist who has been to law school pointedly observes) none of this
provides "a distribution of power, that is of the means of coercion, commensurate
with the distribution of the means of articulation."
Engineers describe the computers
that create the internet experience as intermediary messengers
communicating among one another, & again the uniqueness of human language is highlighted
by the fundamentally different methods used by these machines to exchange information.
Emile Benveniste's central argument is that among all the nouns AMD pronouns,
the words "I" & "YOU" are unique, in that they do not indicate
a fixed REFERENT, but rather identify a pair of individuals
in the act of defining a relationship
between them.
Moreover, unlike other words,
the antecedent references of the first and second person pronouns
change as speaker and listener exchange roles within this relationship, and are understood solely
from the context by the acts
of speaking and listening.
Thus myDi functions for Mor
as 'speaker(s) & listener(s)', all the people
I've ever met in 20 countries during almost 70 years 'rolled into one' medium, playground, school class, place of work,
kibbutz, commune, family, friends
& 'being on the road' ~
like a mirror?!
