Discoursing with an ancient sacred text

This blog is a philosophical exploration of the Song of Songs. My project explores a Cixousian (écriture féminine) encounter with biblical literature along subjective existential lines. In particular I am exploring life, meaningfulness, encounter and freedom as these contradict death, absurdity, separation and oppression. This discourse with the Song of Songs & other biblical texts seeks the critical moment that sparks transformation in the present.

the many breasted goddesses

thinking more along the lines of Irigaray's response to Freud ... the origin of the world spins not on the murder of the father by his sons (civilization and its discontents) but by the primordial murder of the mother (Catherine Keller writes on this also).  what this means for my thesis I'm not sure.

i need to read irigaray's "sexes and genealogies" and more of cixous' white ink writing.

i am drawing across fields - psychoanalysis, the psychoanalytic, poststructuralist french feminists, the pool of post-structuralism and the creative existentialists... , and the psychoanalytic existentialists like Yalom... 

different views of the same?????????????
