ABSTRACT

These fragments are assembled from writings that took place over a number of years. In most instances they were not included within the writing projects, but occurred beside them, as reflections on the practice of writing itself. So, an essay composed of process reflections, marginal notes and out-takes. The practice that these writings discuss, is diversely referred to as performative writing, event-text, event-writing and impossible writing. I have not attempted to erase this incoherence in categorization and nomination here, since formal insecurity and ontological instability are important dynamics of the writing practice I wish to invoke.
