A third language
A third language

"Two languages cancel each other out, suggests Barthes, beckoning a third. Sometimes our words are few and far between, or simply ghosted. In which case the hand, although limited by the borders of the skin and cartilage, can be the third language that animates where the tongue falters.”

A third language
