“So far from imposing an alienating straight-jacket upon the speaking subject, language opens up an infinite area of untrammeled mobility. But within this area, there must still be someone who moves, and we cannot think the being of language without thinking the being of the speaking subject.” Cornelius Castoriadis, ‘The Sayable and the Unsayable: Homage to Maurice Merleau-Ponty,’ Crossroads in the Labyrinth, tr. Kate Soper and Martin H. Ryle (Sussex: Harvester Press, 1978), 133.
