Abstract

It is difficult to begin to gesture toward some kind of closure, especially when closure has been, in another sense, this book’s gesture from its beginning. So let me say again what I have already said in other places and otherwise: to intensify a boundary in space can also be to stretch it out, to make room for other bodies and other desires. Closure becomes, in this way, a movement within enclosure, and not its terminus. The kind of enclosure I am describing is one in which it is impossible to be entirely alone.
