Re: [xmca] Death and dying

[Beth Ferholt <bferholt@gmail.com>]

Anthony -- Ana Marjanovic-Shane reminded me, recently, that Bakhtin
describes death as a gift to those who survive.  We can finally make art of
the life of the person who died.  This is because there is now an ending to
the story -- some type of ending that lets the story/life live on.
I have been thinking of this observation a lot lately, and can find you the
relevant quote when I unpack my new office --  if you like!
