Abstract

We write letters. We report to ourselves. We cross the ocean through writings that talk about us and our lives as corporeality in dissent. There is no concrete reason, but meanings that are produced in everyday life and in dealing with “Others”, whether they are close or radically different. We believe in flows of difference and we understand that any attempt at definition ends in interrupting such flows. How, then, can we live more livable lives and more morbid deaths when the most powerful thing we have closes down? We share our experiences and meanings, because we believe that, in this way, we can negotiate with the norms, sometimes circumvent them, and create ways to escape what, even if provisionally, constitutes us: our being-being-dissent.
