AAAAAAA

“AAAAAAA” — the recipient receives information.

A curious mindattempts to categorize: the first sound of a newborn, a cry of rage, an indication of deliberation, dreary disappointment, ecstatic joy, a cry of pain, a battle cry, sudden surprise, a vocal warm-up, a signal of despair sent into the void, an attempt to hear an echo, someone exhaled in blissful contentment, someone breathed their last, a specimen of experimental vocalization, sabres drawn, a speech-therapy exercise…

(the list could go on for a very long time).

The analyst makes a note in the notebook: “the emptiness of the signifier does not always result in an absence of content, as though the sign alone were sufficient.”
