Writing the Self (The Body) as mer-mer

If we think of mer-mer, as its definition implies, that which enables us to "vividly wonder", "to be anxious", "to exhaustingly ponder", then how do you write mer-mer? How do you language the body? Hélène Cixous says you must write with one's ear (with the body), with music, she says 'it is the body in action in writing'. To mer-mer / memoir the body is an engagement of the most intimate kind, where there is risk and openness and vulnerability. Writing mer-mer lets us hover beneath skin, at the back of the throat where voice comes from. It allows us to 'not know', to speculate, gawk, fret, agitate and muse. Readers are invited to experience the Other close up as if without any space between, not to sensationalise the experience of the story of self, but as a genuine exchange and sharing of knowledge and truthiness: to inhabit a joint consciousness. Of course, there will always be questions; there are never easy answers. But this is a site where change might be possible.
