[-empyre-] On the limits of critique (d'Ignacio) and the limits of representation (Barad) (Murat Nemet-Nejat)

[christina at christinamcphee.net]

Do you have a quote  or snippet from McEwan’s Atonement, that you’d like to share here?  In thinking about your ‘concept of textual personas’ I ‘m wondering also if this is a good moment to 
touch on feminist ‘ecriture’ of Helene Cixhous….


thanks, William

In relation to the concept of textual personas--we especially in poetry--it seems to me that the continuum body/mind is central. Isn't there a kind of presencing that like flickers? One favorite literary play on this is Ch 3 of Ian McEwan's _Atonement_ where a character contemplates the time it takes to crook his finger, thinking in terms of voluntary/involuntary actions. Also the idea of multitasking etc. Thanks for the great discussions! Best, William
