| Summary: | This study interrogates the breakages that occur in peoples' lives such as psychological breakdowns, political ruptures and the effects of history evolving ideologically such that the axioms of the past are overturned and people subsequently lose their sense of identity or purpose. The book combines creative writing pieces in which writers draw from personal experiences to demonstrate the impact of breakages with more discursive essays that question artificial breakdowns between disciplines and the imperative that underpins all knowledge, its provisional nature in conflict with the human need. |
