Xi Han – MA/MFA

When confronted with patients’ lekta and idioglossia, the Other interrupted and suspended my subjectivity, in which the active questioning motives might lead the language of violence against them. Their existent presence anteceded that responsibility substitutes the ‘subject’s subjectivity’ (OB 18) and ‘is not mine and causes me not to be I’ (WD 18).
The poems voice-over for- 
the unheard privacy of the Other;
the ethical appeal for the patient;
the retreat of the self, and subjectivity displaces in “il y a”.
