Writing the everyday breaking body

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

As part of his working towards a new book, Writing, the Everyday, and Creative-Relational Inquiry, this article enquires into the everyday body, the body’s losses, joys, mess, beauty, and contradictions. It is an article about how a(n ageing, White, male) body breaks, how it might (or might not) heal, what a body in its everyday movements remembers, knows, conveys, carries, mourns; what is lost but present. It begins to trouble and explore how we conceptualise ‘the body’. Bringing to the page the everyday poetics and prosaics of the struggling, soaring, body, and the legacies it holds, the article looks for creative-relational possibilities for writing the in/corporeal.
