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 murder of the mother'
What is the 'murder of the mother' to Irigary? (Kelso, p69) Is it a metaphor, a type of metaphysical murder that is ongoing and perpetuated in our culture?? Does the murder of the mother figure in the song???
