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.

recreating the mother in the present...

"This forgotten mother cannot be 'found' or located in the past, that is, 'she' cannot be recuperated or even reconstructed from the past. Rather she is created in the present through an engagement with the past enabled by the psychoanalytic setting or practicable. And crucial to this "return" are analytic and poetic modes of language production." Kelso (2009, p70)
