LYOTARD, JEAN-FRANÇOIS

Lyotard: a differend is a wrong that cannot be expressed in the language of the system that judges it. Limbo's error message — Documentation received. Explanation not accepted. We do not explain. — is the differend installed as system response. The applicant has been wronged. The wrong cannot be heard in the language of the form. The institution names the silence. The naming is not redress. The naming is documentation.
