History gets written with the mind holding the pen. What would it look like, what would it read like, if it got written with the body holding the pen? I suspect it would be a very different story, one that would revolve around the hidden, somatic roots of our more visible behavior. Such a history would open us to our own emotional life; it would lead us into a world of visceral identification, tangible resonance. It would read like a good novel, but it would not be invented. This ‘’subjective" experience is "what actually happened"; writing about the past in this weay would be "objective" in the truest sense of the word.
