- Description
- Woman must write her self: must write about women and bring women to writing, from which they have been driven away as violently as from their bodies – for the same reasons, by the same law, with the same fatal goal. Woman must put herself into the text – as into the world and into history – by her movement (Cixous, 1976: 875). ; Hélène Cixous’ emblematic call to write ourselves into the world and political being, is a call which wraps itself softly around our fingers and resolutely holds our hearts as we write this introduction. It is a call that speaks to the experiences of trauma, silencing, and exile of our own, and of which our authors speak. Yet, our special issue renders visible how new political languages, logics, and literacies are emerging from those places and subjects who have been rendered mute, monstrous, and malignant by patriarchal capitalist-coloniality. We invite you to take our hands and cast off the masks that have inhibited sight, feeling, and knowing-being. We invite you to journey with us into this borderland’s encounter, where a politics enfleshed that is be-ing gently and powerfully crafted in the worlds and words of feminized resistances can be found. We hope that our collection of embodied texts will embolden (y)our loving weaving of this feminized politics otherwise.
