What happens temporally—and spatially—as words and sounds are formed, uttered, blocked and released on their way toward actual or projected recipients? I would like to articulate some aspects of this question in semiotic, philosophical, and psychiatric contexts. While various ingredients of speaking can be conceptually isolated, upon further efforts—be they of a cognitive, intuitive, or affective kind—they turn unruly. Psychiatrically observed speech, such as in Theodor Spoerri’s “Sprachphänomene und Psychose” (“Language Phenomena and Psychosis”), performs mumbles, screams, whispers, and howls that elude spatio-temporal charts. What is and was said and meant, fractures expectational frameworks of both speakers and recipients. Moments in which something appears to be crystallized, turn illusory in an instant: a micro-temporal event away from the possibilities of cognitive supervision. Allen Ginsberg knew this while penning his legendary “Howl”. Sigmund Freud pursued related phenomena in “Die Traumdeutung” (“The Interpretation of Dreams”) in metaphorizing knots, “Knoten”, at which dreams, no matter how deftly elucidated, defy further elucidation. In his “Semiotics of Human Sound”, Peter Ostwald—psychobiographer of Glenn Gould—records and considers miniscule phonetic oscillations. Andrew Jászi, in “Erkenntnis und Wirklichkeit” (“Knowledge and Reality”), takes cognitive insight to its demise in the very preciseness such insight doggedly pursues. Time itself turns fluid as miniscule, immeasurably small linguistic articulations appear to take place. Session proposal: “Timetrajectories: Limits of time, the Time of Limits".
