Asyntactic Contact with Fleshless Words: Con/tactile Aesth/Ethics in The Castle

Abstract

In this article the thrust of the argument is that the moment of con/tactile aesth/ethics and its correlates form the fulcrum of the play on which its dynamics turn. The argument is proposing a belated aesth/ethic relationship between Ann and Krak (representing the phallogocentric discourse) concomitant with an aesthetics of the self and ethics of alterity and event, in which aesth/ethic is defined in terms of exposure and responsivity to the Other, transitivism of corporeal traces between ipseity and alterity, resulting in the dehiscence and connaissance of both parties in a chiasmatic contact.
