World Map: 1200 A.D.	Who speaks? Marginality: who names? whose fringes? An elsewhere that does not merely lie outside the center but radically striates it... dare to cross the borders ... Introduce into language everything monologism has repressed... A creative event ... requires that one leaves the realms of the known, and takes oneself there where one does not expect, is not expected to be. --- Trinh T. Minh-Ha*
A Jesus presides above. Dragons loom below, waiting for those who stray beyond the borders of the recognized territories.
