ABSTRACT
This is an autoethnographic experiment with writing in the largest sense as poesis. The writerly subject is a reverb of qualities and capacities in a generative contact with worlds. Writerliness is an activist capacity to be with the thresholds of expressivity in what’s happening, sensing out what could be otherwise, is already otherwise, in a bodily state, a tendency witnessed. Words, acts, wishes, and matter imprint with the potentia of that look, the texture and density of this pause, the precisions of a gesture, the surprise spread of an ordinary sensibility, a sensation slowly dilating. Here, autoethnography poetically re-pairs composition and critique in acts of sounding out, voicing, cutting, chafing, patterning.
