"Toward the Life that It Is Preparing"
The early Foucault was strongly interested in the work of the Swiss psychiatrist Ludwig Binswanger, and in particular his view on dreams. For Binswanger, the dream is the result of an imagination that is not merely the expression of hidden desires or repressed memories, but the dreamer's active preparation of a possible future. Foucault would soon dismiss Binswanger's approach as still too uncritically normative, and lacking a historical perspect…
‘I shudder that I exist’. Hadewijch’s Mystical Writings as a Wayward Precursor of Autotheoretical Life-Writing
The work of Hadewijch, a thirteenth-century Beguine, explores the reflective potential of intimate affective experiences by making deliberate use of literary and religious intertexts. The writings of women mystics like Hadewijch present an understudied current in the genealogy of life-writing, yet they resonate strongly with contemporary autotheoretical practices that combine theory and art with autobiography. At the same time, the fact that Hade…
Crease
This experimental paper proposes a shared exploration of the crease as a tactile, existential, and artistic phenomenon. It takes Roland Barthes’ definition of his left-handedness as “a tenuous and persistent crease” as a basis. Hence, this phenomenon is a minor but stubborn mark on the self, a superficial matter. In order to portray an intimate and personal approach to the subject, this paper is written in first person. This “I”, though, is plura…
Vademecum77 Minor Terms for Writing Urban Places
Vademecum: 77 Minor Terms for Writing Urban Places offers a set of concepts that stimulate new approaches in planning, architecture, urban design, policy and other practices of spatial development. These diverse concepts might reveal blind spots in urban discourse or bring insights from one discipline to another. The term 'minor' refers to the ambition to look at the local and social specificity of urban places, and to challenge established discu…
Roland Barthes and the "Affective Truths" of Autotheory
L a Chambre claire is not only a book about photography, but also, perhaps more urgently, about how to write about it. In the beginning, Roland Barthes presents himself "ballotté entre deux langages, l'un expressif, l'autre critique" (794), wanting to leave the theoretical discourse from his past: "car chaque fois qu'y ayant un peu recouru, je sentais un langage consister, et de la sorte glisser à la réduction et à la réprimande, je le quittais d…

How to Become What One Is
In his inaugural lecture at the Collège de France, Barthes introduced the fantasy as an important epistemological tool for the reading strategy he would try to develop in his lecture courses. The notion of fantasy oscillates between two important, but apparently irreconcilable intertexts: Lacanian psychoanalysis and Nietzschean philosophy. True to his desire for the Neutral, Barthes refused to choose between them and instead searched for a third …
