Document Summary
Minh-ha: from commitment from the mirror-writing box (landmarks 41-45) Clear expression has long been the criterion set forth in treatises on rhetoric, whose aim was to order discourse so as to persuade. To write is to communicate, express, witness, impose, instruct, redeem, or save - at any rate to mean and to send out an unambiguous message. Writing thus reduced to a mere vehicle of thought may be used to orient towards a goal to to sustain an act, but it does not constitute an act in itself. Literacy says to use the language well, to cherish its classic form, and to not choose the offbeat at the cost of clarity. Obscurity is an imposition on the reader. But, to substitute the work-value for a use-value is simply to shift from the norms of the clearly written (correct behaviour) to those of the well written.
