Back and Forth, Over and Over

Letter-writing was one tool we used both to generate ideas and to digest the dialogue practices. A letter, always addressed to another, frames thinking as something that happens with another in mind. In that sense, it underlines the sense in which thinking is always a ‘thinking-with’.

Reading these letters, we arrive in the middle of a moment. The context is not explained. Rather, we dive into a specific encounter, a located desire, a knot of meaning and making not entirely available to us. Instead of  learnedly formulated  ‘research conclusions’, we offer these as traces of the process, a linguistic byproduct which testifies to – but doesn’t supersede or replace – the embodied dialogues we performed.
