I will focus my Essay on a passage written
by Maurice Blanchot and Susan Hanson in “Everyday Speech”, an article published
in the Yale French Studies:
“Whatever its other aspects, the everyday
has this essential trait: it allows no hold. It escapes. It belongs to
insignificance, and the insignificant is without truth, without reality,
without secret, but perhaps also the site of all possible signification. The
everyday escapes.” (14)
I would argue that the everyday (i.e. the
passing of time, the times when we are alone, the mundane, the quotidian, how
we spend our moments in darkness and in silence, our secrets) is in fact the
center of all truth, the most honest reality. It is DEFINITELY the “site of all
possible signification”.
I think that the idea that you have for your article is extremely fascinating and I think that you will be able to make a great article based off of this topic!
ReplyDeleteI would be really interested in reading your essay on this topic. I think you could argue this with different points and I'd be interested to see the points you would choose for this! I would probably agree with you after reading your essay, because there's something about this argumentation that grabs my attention.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very interesting topic to talk about and I'm sure you'll find something to profoundly support your argument. Would love to see how you articulate on this argument in the workshop.
