Anyone seen or heard Prynne complain about, or > celebrate, a text`s resistance? I wasn't at the conference & your question is discourse-rhetorical, no? I do know that Prynne's first published piece (in a magazine called "Prospectus" he, Prynne, ran as student with John Rathmell and Elaine Feinstein) was called "Resistance and Difficulty". John Rathmell tells me they were all interested in Husserl's phenomenology (J.R. still shakes head in wonder at J.H.P's subsequent Black Mount Olive School conversion). I haven't, oddly, rushed off to UL and read "Prospectus", so I have not apprehended with the senses, "Resistance and Difficulty", the celebration or complaint thereof. "Resistance and Difficulty" would coincide, one supposes, with writing of disowned poetry book. If you believe in authorial intentionality.
