face
if we accept the Hegel's object of desire (presentation of the other) is the same as the face, then we can provide an account for discourse. an account of discourse issued from responsibility.
a positive signing of the interior of consciousness. an unreflected transformation of the world that corresponds to the inwardness of consciousness.
the recipient fills the gift with content. the recipient fills the presentation with content. it is now a representation.
the face obligates a response.
the face is an address to consciousness in the form of 'you'. in such a case the face has a recipient to which the giving address is directed. to which the respondent/recipient replies: I?
