THE TEMPORALIZATION OF LISTENING IN THE INTERSUBJECTIVE RELATION

Summary/Abstract: The paper explores the ethical significance of listening in intersubjective relations with another person.Rooted in Levinas’s account of intersubjective temporality this research discusses listening as a visionof responsibility, as a welcome of the other and as a possibility to realize responsibility as being for theother. The main focus is to analyze listening as a disturbance of ethical subjectivity and as a traumaticexperience, and to understanding how an expression of the face of the other requires an ethical responsein the form of attentiveness and listening. Referring to Levinas’s ethics I show that listening growsfrom the function of auto-affection and affection. First, I bring into discussion a description of prereflectivesubjectivity, which has not yet encounter the appeal of the other. I analyze subjectivity in itsdisplacement and the sense of pain. Then I turn my attention to the work of affection in temporalizingconsciousness and how it results into a temporal gap, dephasing, into a non-intentional consciousnessand passivity. All these create an important context to locate the meaning of the ethical listening asa formation of the present. I will also give a special account of sensibility and corporeity, which arisefrom the notion of affection and non-intentional consciousness, and which, gradually, form drivingprinciples of synchrony and diachrony. Thus, the main goal of this paper is to illuminate the principlewhy listening is seen as a specific mode of temopralization for subjectivity and of reasoning responsibility,and how listening is initiated by diachronical movement and how it is found at the basis of theface-to-face situation.
