Sliding Out Of Narrative (2018/2019)

Sliding Out Of Narrative (2018/2019) - MINI THESIS

Sliding out of narrative is an experimental research project that is attempting to engage vulnerability and concepts of visibility and invisibility in the public space. Being a literary project, it attempts to combine elements of non-fiction and fiction, while partially applying a theoretical framework to analyse the ways, in which a particular body performs and negotiates space, in an attempt to feel at home – or grounded- but particularly, it is looking at how the body, through multiple encounters finds itself sliding out of narrative. Performing visibilty and invisibilty.

Writing is the main essence of this project and to accompany this text, there is a seires of threaded- paper based works and transparency sheets that form part of this main body of work. These are elements that I would like to refer to as extended essays to the preludes, which have been included in this book.

This literary research work, is a project that intends to understand how vulnerability potentially organises the public and various encounters- whether individual or collective. This book attempts to emphasise a need for vulnerability in the present, as a way to resolve particular tensions that impact on ideas related to displacement, the self and the public space.
