	17	+====
	18	+If what human beings had to communicate to each other were always and only something, there would never be politics properly speaking, but only exchange and con¬flict, signals and answers. But because what human be¬ings have to communicate to each other is above all a pure communicability (that is, language), politics then arises as the communicative emptiness in which the hu¬man face emerges as such. It is precisely this empty space that politicians and the media establishment are trying to be sure to control, by keeping it separate in a sphere that guarantees its unseizability and by preventing com¬municativity itself from coming to light. This means that an integrated Marxian analysis should take into consid¬eration the fact that capitalism (or whatever other name we might want to give to the process dominating world history today) not only was directed to the expropria¬tion of productive activity, but was also and above all directed to the alienation of language itself, of the com¬municative nature of human beings. Inasmuch as it is nothing but pure communicability, every human face, even the most noble and beautiful, is always suspended on the edge of an abyss. This is pre¬cisely why the most delicate and graceful faces some¬times look as if they might suddenly decompose, thus letting the shapeless and bottomless background that threatens them emerge. But this amorphous background is nothing else than the opening itself and communica¬bility itself inasmuch as they are constituted as their own presuppositions as if they were a thing. The only face to remain uninjured is the one capable of taking the abyss of its own communicability upon itself and of exposing it without fear or complacency. This is why the face contracts into an expression, stiff¬ens into a character, and thus sinks further and further into itself. As soon as the face realizes that communica¬bility is all that it is and hence that it has nothing to ex¬press — thus withdrawing silently behind itself, inside its own mute identity—it turns into a grimace, which is what one calls character. Character is the constitutive ret¬icence that human beings retain in the word; but what one has to take possession of here is only a nonlatency, a pure visibility: simply a visage. The face is not some¬thing that transcends the visage: it is the exposition of the visage in all its nudity, it is a victory over charac¬ter—it is word.

	28	+**====AND, debate is an educational activity. Your role as a judge is as an educator which means that education should precede previous justifications that have been rationally justified. This also means that as an educator your constitutive role in debate is to prevent violence. Violence excludes people from debate and thus causes us to lose out on the education that we would otherwise get. Violence also creates an unsafe space in the debate that would threaten our own well-being. This comes first. ====**
