The amazing adventures of Jess's abodes.

I feel perfectly at home, everywhere.

While Cixous sees her history as a "double-bind": French but not French, I create my own history -
at once one and the other - Douglas's and/and/and. If my memories are contradictory it only bears
witness to my complexity and multiplicity.
Durban - city of my conception
Chieti, Italia. Where I was born.
Piazza, Vasto, Italia. Where I spent my early years and now where I live for part of the year.
Toronto - my parents decided to leave Vasto's sunny warmth for the democracy of Canada.
From Toronto to Mississauga.
Port Credit in Mississauga. A seaside feel in a bustling city.
Burlington Ontario. When in Canada this is my point of departure.
Ah. The University of Waterloo: where I studied for my undergrad. degree.
Founder's at Royal Holloway, Uni of London. Where I studied for my Master's in Postmodern Literature and Theory.
Upon finishing my Master's I moved to Oadby with my boyfriend at the time.
After enough of small-town Oadby the bright lights of Barnet, north London, were a'calling.
From North London to South London - Osterley Park.
Living right by Tower Bridge was amazingly spectacular...and the crime rate was mighty high!
My current domicile. Leafy North Camp village in Farnborough, on the Surrey/Hampshire border.
Rosi Braidotti's BECOMING
"is also a theory of desire: the
only possible way to
undertake this process is to
actually be attracted to
change, to want it, the way
one wants a lover – in the
flesh."
