Transition (Osmosis) – (ii) Life as a wounded body
Jean Luc Nancy once tried giving birth to a new impossible body (of discourse as well as corporeal) that acted like an itinerary or a dictionary, and where the wounds of each component signifies a point where it itself emerges and its "sense gets lost" (Nancy, The Birth of Presence, 1993, p 197). Nancy's essay "Corpus" tried to assemble a collection of organs and entrails conjured from permanently permeable "open-ings" rather than indicating a unified totality or body of origin.
