That betweeness allows both subjects to leave their , um, "ego" to use a sloppy owrd, behind and meet each other "clean" and curious, it's a neutral turf sort of thing where judgement is suspended for a time, both about self and other. That's what really attracts me to I's book. This ethic can, and I think should, be explored in terms of dynamics other than those of sexual difference. I take sexual difference to a base-line, or model, sort of difference. Irigaray also characterized it this way in -Thinking the Difference- a very practical essay that elaborates some of the socila changes needed for sexual difference to take its proper place in the social. Anyway, I plan on looking a various sorts of poetics that both allow and demand the reader to take the sort of ethical stance she describes, but in relation to poems an reading. I know that's vague, but I'm sort fo in a hurry. I'll send more later if you're interested. Thanks for the response, Meaghan Meaghan Roberts | ... in our interpreted world...
