“Burning Acts, Injurious Speech” Excitable Speech<\/span> 1977<\/p>\n

J.L Austin<\/p>\n

Constative utterance<\/span>: actions performed by virtue of words<\/p>\n

Performative utterance<\/span>: you have words, and then you have ‘actions’ as a consequence<\/strong> of using ‘words’<\/p>\n

For Nietzsche the subject appears only as a consequence of a demand for accountability; a set of painful effects is taken up by a moral framework that seeks to isolate the “cause” of those effects in a singular and intentional agent, a moral framework that operates through a certain economy of paranoid fabrication and efficiency.<\/p>\n

The question, then, of who is accountable for a given injury precedes and initiates the subject, and the subject itself is formed through being nominated to inhabit that grammatical and juridical site. 216<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In a sense for Nietzsche, the subject comes to be only within the requirements of a moral discourse of accountability. The requirements of blame figure the subject as the “cause” of an act. In this sense, there can be no subject without a blameworthy act<\/strong>, and there can be no “act” apart from a discourse of accountability and, according to Nietzsche, without an institution of punishment. 216<\/p>\n
