Sažetak
"Text has a human shape, it is the anagram of the body" (Barthes). Just as the "I" of the human subject requires a material body in order to constitute itself through the otherness of its specular image, bound to engender the uncanny feelings of a vanishable virtuality at its own core, literary text needs the signifying surface of a material support, i.e. a discursive body, in order to be legible. If there is no "hors-texte", there is no "hors-corps" either. As the formation of the subject faces the otherness of its bodily existence, reducing it to a mere "signifier for another signifier" (Lacan), and therefore a possible counterfeit of its "soul", text has an analogous relationship to the bodily projection of its discourse.
