Abstract

Inside the archive of loss, there is that which is public, an object. Incident as bombing: objectionable. Release: the body, subject. Survivor, and family. Inside, what it is means to touch. What is means to live in aftermath. Subject:: history, a reduction. My hand is made, body to material. Icon?hand. Exhibit: to touch Subject: this is the hand. The subject is touching. Objection, it is we the living. Replicated. Sara Ahmed writes about a Willfulness Archive, examining the hand, the body as resistance. So, too, within the saga that is Air India, we find the body. Angela, do you remember, in Paris? We sat on that bench outside the main symposium. We spoke of your teacher, then, too.
