Post-Chapter Dialogue, Gendolla and Ricardo

Literariness means a specific, specifically aesthetic difference vis-a-vis all historical, normative, functional meanings and uses of language. It means perception, not as a passive registering of symbolic-material schemata and their functional practice; but rather as an active ‘pause,’ a ‘breather’ or temporary halt in the sense of temporarily repudiating the (unreasonable) demand to behave in any ‘normative’ way.
