Abstract
Uttering the name which negates his own existence, Odysseus as Nobody embarks on the endless journey of reflection of Western subjectivity. On an island at the limits of civilization Homer pushes language to say what cannot be said and the hero to reach beyond his identity. And as the poet searches not for the word but for the word-event, so must his persona consider individuality in its transcendental dimension. The immeasurable denial that this quest entails effaces almost the entire positivity of the word and of the self in order to withdraw itself at the point where the mirroring of the subject on its representation shall rise again as the condition of humanity's possibility.
