    The Gesture of Writing

      Vilรฉm Flusser writes: "It is wrong to say that writing fixes thinking. Writing is a way of thinking. There is no thinking that is not articulated by a gesture." Thinking does not precede writing, but writing and thinking are intertwined and make each other possible in the process. The reading group deals with texts that think along with their medial conditions in writing. For example, in Hรฉlรจne Cixous and Jacques Derrida, the style at the author's disposal is contrasted with a performative, embodying-embodied รฉcriture (fรฉminine) that gives birth to itself. For Maurice Blanchot, on the other hand, in the act of writing, the I becomes a neutral instance and the word destroys what it names.
