Abstract
In Chap. 6, we examine the generative potential of multiplicity for the reader of a story. This chapter offers a methodology that is not so much to do with interpretation of text as it is to do with the facilitation of connection and catharsis. In particular, we suggest ‘reading aloud’ as a strategy that may incite an experience of the awareness of multisubjectivity, and that in turn might support change. We argue that this reading-aloud strategy generates a space where subjects might stall identifications and foreclosures and may support change.
