Writing Death,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Writing Death opens a meditation on the possibility of mourning; of whether there is a subject, or even object, that one mournsof whether one is mourning, can only mourn, the very impossibility of mourning itself. The manuscript is framed by two attempts at mourningAvital Ronell's 'The Tactlessness of an Unending Fadeout' and Jeremy Fernando's 'adieu.' Inbetweenfor this is where both pieces posit the possibility of attending to the passing, the memory, the fading of the personis an attempt to think this impossibility. The text is continually haunted by the question of whether one is mourning the person as such, or a particular version of the person, a reading of the person. And in reading another, in attempting to respond to the other, one can never have the metaphysical comfort that one is reading accurately, correctly; in fact, one may always already be rewriting the person. Thus, all one can do is attempt to mourn the name of that person, whilst never being certain of whether her name even refers to her any longer.All one can do is write death.'Ask not for whom the bell tolls... Eulogy: one of the many English words combining legein (to gather together) and logos (the word, the law). With eulogy though the speechact itself is all important (eu) and its impossibility evident in a written work. The site of the gathering together of words, of scattered sounds, disappears in the act of writing, itself scatterall too forcefully underlining the cause, the event of dispersion that creates the need for gathering together. Jeremy Fernando's eulogy, this particular eulogy, is called Writing Death, and it reminds us that eulogy in its impossibility may well be the primary genre of writing. Writing and death have always gone together, hence Plato's suspicions of chirographic technologies. The author is absent, as is the subject. The text brooks no questions and gives no answers. Fernando's gathering of scatterings in the form of minimeditations unfolds the weaving of textus that makes writing possible and makes death comprehensible in all of its paradoxical mystery and aweful presence. His is a book of catalysts: use them with care.'Ryan Bishop, Professor of Global Arts and Politics, the Winchester School of Art , the University of Southampton
