‘Self-consciousness is faced by another self-consciousness; it has come out of itself. This has a two-fold significance, first it has lost itself, for it finds itself as an other being; secondly, in doing so it has superseded the other, for it does not see the other as an essential being, but in the other sees its own self’

against the thesis. what will be the politics, the democracy and the Enlightenment ‘to come’? Being open to monsters, being rigorously without preconceptions. Precariously crazily open. To the Other.

Can it carry phenomenology?

I am wondering if the texts that I am using, under the entirely questionable categorisations of ‘South’ ‘Asian’ ‘Women’ and for the heck of it ‘writers’ can carry the weight of phenomenological theory….can it. I mean the poetry can, but how to do that for the fiction? It’s my shortcoming surely, not the texts’. Of course the answer is more readings…….the mission is taking off…..

Here’s my newfound writer. Radhika Jha. Just in advance of tomorrow’s meeting. Homely wee publishers for her recent novel also, after having been published by penguin. By sheer serendipity I have gotten my hands on a pre-publishing uncorrected proof copy of ! clapclap! am interested in how textual paratextual elements will compare to the final published form….

Of course I’m getting ahead of myself! And of course you have more to do than look at these links. Must rain on my own parade, as she might finally prove to be useless…. Lanterns on their Horns is very very likable though.
