Call for Proposals: RiffsVol 6 Issue 1 (July 2022)

Guest Editor: Jenny Ann Cubin
otobiographies
a posthumous collaboration with jacques derrida

the ear is uncanny
(large or small)
it is the most open organ.
i tell my life to my self
(i recite and recount)
but become what i am
through the ear i borrow
(through the ear you lend).
we proceed
seeking out the edges
(the inner walls, the passages).
these labyrinths come down
to the ear you hear me with
(to the ear I hear you with).
we recite and recount
and become what we are.

This poem is inspired by Jacques Derrida’s theory of otobiographies and 
the role of listening as a mediator between self and world. In this 
issue of Riffs, we ask you to attend to your relationship with music and 
the various listening practices you have developed and adopted as you 
write, play, perform, dance, or compose, and/or the impact of sound upon 
others involved in your creative practices.

We welcome all creative responses to this prompt, from all individuals 
and collectives, from any sector or discipline. Feel free to include 
written, visual, and/or musical elements, and to propose work that 
emerges from collaborations between writers, poets, musicians, composers 
and visual artists (etc).
