ABSTRACT This essay offers an alternative perspective on the dominant view of communication that focuses on message exchange and calculative thinking. It highlights communicators as embodied beings who experience communication and enquires into the contact that takes place at the level of sensation (i.e., in the coming together of the sense organ, the sensed object, and consciousness). I first present a non-western perspective on bare awareness that offers specific instructions on mindfulness of monitoring the interpretive construction of one’s experience and follow this with three themes based on Georges Bataille’s work that facilitate the inquiry on the “bare experience of communication,” which underlines a suspension of meaning in making sense of the world, each other, and of human communication. I focus this discussion on three particular concepts: slippage, risk, and un-knowing. I conclude by stating that the possibility for optimal communication necessitates slippage as a movement outside one’s self-centeredness that the practice of mindfulness facilitates.

沟通的裸露体验：滑移，风险和不了解

摘要本文为交流的主流观点提供了另一种观点，该观点着眼于消息交换和计算思维。它突显了传播者，他们是体验交流的具体人，并探究在感觉层面（即，在感觉器官，被感知物体和意识的融合中）发生的接触。我首先介绍一种关于裸意识的非西方观点，该观点提供了有关监督个人经历的解释性结构的正念性的具体说明，并在此基础上以乔治·巴塔耶（Georges Bataille）的工作为基础，提出了三个主题，以促进对“裸露的交流体验”的探究，强调了在理解世界，彼此以及人类交流方面的意义的悬浮。我将讨论重点放在三个特定概念上：滑点，风险和不了解。最后，我指出，最佳沟通的可能性使滑倒成为一种超越正念练习的自我中心的运动。
