Importantly, howe\u00adver, there is no power, construed as a sub\u00adject, that acts, but only, to repeat an ear\u00adlier phrase, a rei\u00adte\u00adra\u00adted acting that is power in its per\u00adsis\u00adtence and insta\u00adbi\u00adli\u00adty. This is less an \u201cact,\u201d sin\u00adgu\u00adlar and deli\u00adbe\u00adrate, than a nexus of power and dis\u00adcourse that repeats or mimes the dis\u00adcur\u00adsive ges\u00adtures of power. Hence, the judge who autho\u00adrizes and ins\u00adtalls the situa\u00adtion he names inva\u00adria\u00adbly cites the law that he applies, and it is the power of this cita\u00adtion that gives the per\u00adfor\u00adma\u00adtive its bin\u00adding or confer\u00adring power. And though it may appear that the bin\u00adding power of his words is deri\u00adved from the force of his will or from a prior autho\u00adri\u00adty, the oppo\u00adsite is more true : it is through the cita\u00adtion of the law that the figure of the judge\u2019s \u201cwill\u201d is pro\u00addu\u00adced and that the \u201cprio\u00adri\u00adty\u201d of tex\u00adtual autho\u00adri\u00adty is esta\u00adbli\u00adshed. Indeed, it is through the invo\u00adca\u00adtion of conven\u00adtion that the speech act of the judge derives its bin\u00adding power ; that bin\u00adding power is to be found nei\u00adther in the sub\u00adject of the judge nor in his will, but in the cita\u00adtio\u00adnal lega\u00adcy by which a contem\u00adpo\u00adra\u00adry \u201cact\u201d emerges in the context of a chain of bin\u00adding conventions.<\/p>\n
Where there is an \u201cI\u201d who utters or speaks and the\u00adre\u00adby pro\u00adduces an effect in dis\u00adcourse, there is first a dis\u00adcourse which pre\u00adcedes and enables that \u201cI\u201d and forms in lan\u00adguage the constrai\u00adning tra\u00adjec\u00adto\u00adry of its will. Thus there is no \u201cI\u201d who stands behind dis\u00adcourse and exe\u00adcutes its voli\u00adtion or will through dis\u00adcourse. On the contra\u00adry, the \u201cI\u201d only comes into being through being cal\u00adled, named, inter\u00adpel\u00adla\u00adted, to use the Althusserian term, and this dis\u00adcur\u00adsive consti\u00adtu\u00adtion takes place prior to the \u201cI\u201d; it is the tran\u00adsi\u00adtive invo\u00adca\u00adtion of the \u201cI.\u201d Indeed, I can only say \u201cI\u201d to the extent that I have frst been addres\u00adsed, and that address has mobi\u00adli\u00adzed my place in speech ; para\u00addoxi\u00adcal\u00adly, the dis\u00adcur\u00adsive condi\u00adtion of social recog\u00adni\u00adtion pre\u00adcedes and condi\u00adtions the for\u00adma\u00adtion of the sub\u00adject : recog\u00adni\u00adtion is not confer\u00adred on a sub\u00adject, but forms that sub\u00adject. Further, the impos\u00adsi\u00adbi\u00adli\u00adty of a full recog\u00adni\u00adtion, that is, of ever ful\u00adly inha\u00adbi\u00adting the name by which one\u2019s social iden\u00adti\u00adty is inau\u00adgu\u00adra\u00adted and mobi\u00adli\u00adzed, implies the insta\u00adbi\u00adli\u00adty and incom\u00adple\u00adte\u00adness of sub\u00adject-for\u00adma\u00adtion. The \u201cI\u201d is thus a cita\u00adtion of the place of the \u201cI\u201d in speech, where that place has a cer\u00adtain prio\u00adri\u00adty and ano\u00adny\u00admi\u00adty with res\u00adpect to the life it ani\u00admates : it is the his\u00adto\u00adri\u00adcal\u00adly revi\u00adsable pos\u00adsi\u00adbi\u00adli\u00adty of a name that pre\u00adcedes and exceeds me, but without which I can\u00adnot speak.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Importantly, howe\u00adver, there is no power, construed as a sub\u00adject, that acts, but only, to repeat an ear\u00adlier phrase, a rei\u00adte\u00adra\u00adted acting that is power in its per\u00adsis\u00adtence and insta\u00adbi\u00adli\u00adty.
