ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Among living beings, only man has language. The voice is the sign of pain and pleasure, and this is why it belongs to other living beings (since their nature has developed to the point of having the sensations of pain and pleasure and of signifying the two). But language is for manifesting the fitting and the unfitting and the just and the unjust. To have the sensation of the good and the bad and of the just and the unjust is what is proper to men as opposed to other living beings, and the community of these things makes dwelling and the city.
(Aristotle, Politics, 1253a, 10-18)
There is no other time than that of the enunciation
(Roland Barthes, The death of the Author, 1967)
