The INTERCHANGES of the Text

Mireille Calle-Gruber (in Cixous' 'Rootprints') says of interchanges that they "constitute a weaving that makes the texts unique... it forms very subtle networks." I'd never thought of an interchange in terms of a woven fabric before, until reading this passage in Rootprints (p.25). She goes on to speak of a renewed urgency with which reading is considered: "Weaving, interchanges, reticular system, non-mastery of a subject of writing, all of this brings forth an exigency of the reading."
