Blurring the lines between public and private language by displaying a series of hand-written letters and envelopes sent through the mail, Susan Jahoda’s Flight Patterns questions if the demarcation between public and private language is ever really possible. As a matter of central importance to studies of performance and rhetoric, ultimately, Jahoda suggests that performances of the self are constructed by language that is unavoidably, and simultaneously, public and private.
