Writing in between

What does it mean to write from in-between? What does it mean to be in the teeming midst of something, immersed in the materiality of writing as doing and making, a thinking-feeling sensation taking shape in action, and then shifting that shape again at the very moment it threatens to fix itself in a recognizable form? A spirit of invention can be seen in the new experimental ethos that drives contemporary academic writing, an ethos that acknowledges writing as active encounter, aiming especially to capture and redirect human flows of affect to engage with worlds beyond the human, and animating these worlds so as to bring them to affective life for human readers, that is, rendering them communicable(in both senses) and making them matter. Here scholarly writing also learns from the modernist literary avant-gardes and the history of experimental writing since them, especially from poetic investigations of the way language creates intersections and interstices, a space between.
