WEEK 1: Situating the Self

As we begin the process of configuring various possible articulations that our construction of the self can assume, our point of origin and departure will be in situating selfhood. Who is the ‘I’ that we refer to when we speak of our will and personhood. How much of that ‘I’ is determined through self-exploration and how much of its peculiarities are inherited through gender-based conditioning? We will attempt to entangle ourselves and then locate where we stand within the labyrinth using a series of writing prompts hinged on evolving a web of relationships that are formed around us.
