Humanity Is to Language as the Spider Is to Its Web: A Response to Flusser.

This contemplative piece is an interological, khoralogical reception of and response to Flusser's little known fable on the philosophy of language, which he spells out more systematically in his monographs. Proceeding at a sprightly pace, it ventures beyond Flusser and points to the at once illusion-prone and culturally productive nature of language as a human secretion, a world-making sieve, and a womb-like dwelling.
