Drawing on Lacan and Winnicott, the author explores the idea that racial difference is dynamically reconfigured in interpersonal space, emerging from the flow of desire between two (or more) people. The argument does not deny—indeed, it presupposes—that race is a socially-constructed given, which delimits or constrains the interaction. And yet, interpersonal space can become a potential space through which we rework and refashion such social constraints, turning them into transitional phenomena, terms of playful vitality. How can one become not exactly what one is? How can possibility appear where only oppressive necessities make themselves present
