The Saga Between the Said and the Not Said

Languague, music and work, in temporal perspecive

Abstract

“Saga” is a term used in the Heideggerian writings on language. The term indicates the extension of the language to beyond its communicative and meaningful function, opening space to the unsaid, for what escapes the univocal senses. The present text starts from this extension, understood from the temporal perspective proper of the poetic behavior and advances to the discussion of exclusions operated by the binary oppositions resulted of representation. In the context, the legitimacy of the practical dimension of music and the possibility of nonhuman music are highlighted. The text includes dialogues between the thoughts of Small, Sexto Empírico, Derrida and Heidegger.
