Writer or Author? Postcolonial?

For me, it's writer, not author. Foucault delineate the author function as such was important but to keeping connected to that function or viewing writers as that function presupposes and perpetuates a fantastic repression machine/bad Big Other, what have you. Other writers such as critics will fetishise the author function, especially the gender or race thereof. Essentialising that sux. It's why I am uncomfortable being labelled a postcolonial writer. I am not the only one as writer Mohammed Haneef talked about in his interview "I do not think I am addressing the empire" on Journal of Postcolonial Text

Besides Postcolonialism essentialising the author function, qua cultural politics [which was necessary given the political context at the time but now an albatrossing redundancy] I am also of the mind that essentialising the gender of an author sux too. Essentialising the function. Great but that's not about the writing.

In a sly way if we recur the author function analysis back on to the life of Foucault as subject then it begs the question about his barebacking once he found out he had AIDS. Don't champion your bastards too much! They are after all, bastards! heeheh

So - writer. Unsure if you can essentialise
writing after the writings of Jacques Derrida

What I'm interested is not that uncertainty, but it would be nice to nut that out. What I'm interested in is the irreducibility of writing, as health writer of disclosing my biases [Deleuze had an issue with disclosure - we could contend he had a Platonic reading of Plato]

and in my context? To elicit the pre-gestural sphere areas, colour, timbre, tone and fields of writing, it's elementality, its raw science a la Laruelle and as such it's non-science

Loving every moment of it. Love being an irreducible but sure, argue away on that - write, write, write. script of worlds colliding, worlds walking through walls of worlds, worlds melanging with worlds

words merging, phasing in and out...nonlocalising and pinging to other spaces - Cartesian Coordinated tesselated tiles or not

Tesselate space allows for every shape to occur. what about non-tesselated geometries, planar, dimension, varied dimensional hyperplanes etc Cartesianism is foundational in this schema here

this schema is vector itself and thus begins the braid and fractalising
hypermultidimensionality in momentum and recursion

it's a -physics, the meta got dropped on the way.
