Abstract
This paper is about the interconnectedness of the realm of language with that of social interactions, constitutive of all human communities. Arguing against the traditional and still present primacy of the rationally based understanding of language, I wish to stress the possibility of another approach to language, strongly related to the question of the Other. Relying on the idea that the Other is a constitutive part of any linguistic situation, I wish to inspect how it is possible for the voice of the Other to be suppressed or silenced, and if that is the case, how we should understand the silence of the Other. The main result of my findings is that the silence of the Other is not only meaningful, but that it can have positive social and political effects, including the enhancement of the sensitivity for the various modalities of the voice of the Other.
U ovom radu bavimo se povezanošću domena jezika i domena društvenih interakcija, koji konstituišu svaku ljudsku zajednicu. Na pozadini kritike tradicionalnog, pa i sada u mnogome prisutnog primata razumevanja jezika zasnovanog na razumu, nameravamo da istaknemo mogućnost drugačijeg pristupa jeziku, takvog koji je bitno povezan sa pitanjem Drugog. Osla-njajući se na ideju da je Drugi konstitutivni aspekt bilo koje jezičke situacije, želimo da ispi-tamo kako je moguće da glas drugog bude suspendovan ili ućutkan, i – ako je to slučaj – kako bi trebalo da razumemo tišinu Drugog. Ključni rezultat naših analiza je da tišina Drugog nije samo obremenjena značenjem, već da ona može imati pozitivne društvene i političke posle-dice, uključujući tu i unapređivanje senzitivnosti za različite modalitete glasa Drugog.
