Abject Art II

The term abjection literally means “the state of being cast off”. In usage it has connotations of degradation, baseness and meanness of spirit; but has been explored in post-structuralism as that which inherently disturbs conventional identity and cultural concepts.” (Wikipedia)

Wittgenstein vs. Twitter

Wittgenstein in Mouseton

Wittgenstein in Mouseton 1930

3 tweets on Wittgenstein.

The limits of my language are the limits of my world. (Wittgenstein)

There is no private language. (see the private-language argument after Wittgenstein)

As a consequence, there is no private world. For the privacy of my language is one of its limits.
My world is limited to any sort of public.

I’m open for discussion, of course. 😉
