15. See Lorraine Code, Rhetorical Spaces: Essays on Gendered Locations, Routledge, New York, 1995, p73: 'Subjectivity is produced and continually reproduced out of a multiplicity of crisscrossing, sometimes mutually supportive and sometimes conflictual, discursive, dialogic relations which are lived not on a geographic analogue of a tabula rasa, but in specific rhetorical locations - spatial, historical, racial, cultured, gendered - themselves embedded in and part of the ongoing stasis and flux of narrative ways of making sense. Hence every life is always already partly scripted, partially contained within pre-existing narrative lines: a film that is already running colors and flavors even one's simplest utterances, and hence one's (observational and other) knowledge claims, one's testimonial moments.'
