Fascinating (got here via meta-fandom though I also know cathexys!)--I come at this differently but from the same sort of perspective if that makes sense. And I love Bakhtin as well.
Amazing how "speech" is taught but not "listening," and how little attention is given to listening in lots of ideas and talk about communication, but you're perfectly right.
Especially about wank being essential in communication....in fact, it's probably most of communication (even outside fandom, snicker).
