This video contains spoilers!
Denis Villeneuve’s film Arrival demonstrates different approaches to solving the problem of language’s necessary ambiguity. By looking at Plato’s treatment of speech and writing and Jacques Derrida’s seminal deconstruction of it, it starts to become clear that the most responsible thing to do, in light of the fact that we can’t just escape the textuality of experience, is to follow Louise Banks’ example and embrace the problem of language.
