Abstract
Any discussion on the usage of language cannot escape
the body. It is in the power of the body that are made effective our daily literacies,
our habits, our ways of naming things, problematizing, listening, creating
interactions and meanings, our affections. Talking about language in use is
empowering the body in its many daily actions. Likewise, they are in our daily
ways of saying/doing, in our ‘languaging’ technologies, the comprehension of
what it means to read, write, speak and hear, as well as in the possibilities
of reshaping the meaning of those verbs into an understanding of the body as
the imperative of language.
