<i>Zōon Logon Ekhon</i>: (Dis)possessing an Echo of Barbarism

Erik Doxtader University of South Carolina

Abstract

ABSTRACTZōon logon ekhon echoes. Across the terrain of philosophy and rhetoric, it echoes as an echo, an expression that does not come from where it is alleged to come and which these two fields may not have in the way that they have so long claimed to have it. In the midst of zōon logon ekhon there abides an unasked and pressing question of possession, a question of how to bring the (dis)possession of language to recognizability.
