Beschreibung:
In this essay I am trying to intertwine personal memories with reflections
on the essay as a genre, exploring the subjective consistency of objective
realities. The question pursued is this: How can a mutually enriching relationship
between academia and creative writing be envisaged? The essayistic tradition can
be seen as an answer to an increasingly specialised professionalism in academia
which is in danger of alienating itself from its social, political and sensory contexts.
These contexts produce the very uncertainties which are at the core of the
essay’s concern.
