Abstract

mMyth is is is an experimental poetic work in the traditions of écriture féminine or writing from, with and through the body. It highlights the (im)possibility of writing the body, while remaining deeply situated in the body. In this work bodies move in and out of focus, in and out of each other: becoming-text, becoming-i, unbecoming-i, becoming-mother, becoming-other. mMyth is is disorders the equilibrium of order words, decentring the impossible I. The work is troubling for the tongue when spoken out loud, as if resisting intelligibility, resisting sedimentation. In this way it remains always in flow.
