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.

Thomas Hardy "Tess of the D'urbervilles"
Thomas Hardy's novel on a 'pure women' is provocative. He seems to be able to see in a way that was completely contrary to the norms of his day. I want to think more about his portrayal of Tess' struggle; his stunning ability to intuit her alterity.
