REFIGURATIONS

What appears as given already belongs to a story: the story through which a life recognises, protects, and repeats itself. Refiguration begins when that apparent immediacy is unsettled and carried into another order, where the self no longer fully coincides with its accustomed narrative. Identity is placed under pressure. A subject passes through forms that seem foreign, excessive, or improper, and there discovers what had remained hidden in full view: what was intimate yet disavowed, connatural yet approached as alien. Presence returns under another aspect and becomes newly sayable.
