THE NOTES: ON NEUROQUEER READING AS WRITING, VOICING, PLAYING, LOVING AND TRANS-LATE/ING.
Main Article Content
Abstract
This essay is an attempt to find something.
From the concepts of "Notes" and "Bad Reading", it is a poetical search for a way of thinking and living (I think).
It was first written in the context of Neuroqueer Theory, but considered to be too "mad" for the context. I got the suggestion to submit it to a Mad Studies context instead. I do think this background story is of interest, and I might want to add something to the context, but I am not sure what, yet, and I might never be. The Notes, are still in process, and can change.
