Corporality of speech, the voice is located at the articulation of the body and discourse, and it is in this interspace that listening's back and forth movement might be made: 'To listen to someone, to hear his voice, requires on the listener's part an attention open to the interspace of body and discourse, and which contracts neither at the impression of the voice nor at the expression of the discourse. And what such listening offers is precisely what the speaking subject doesn't say.
Dennis Vasse quoted by Roland Barthes
