of town ... "A voyage ordinarily implies that one leaves a
familiar shore to confront the unknown. [...] In fact the very thing
one always expects of a voyage is that it will deliver 'the other' —
the unexpected, a type of defamiliarization if not adventure or
exoticism. [...] The event that abducts the traveler's identity and
allows an opening to alterity to become experience of the world in
general must occur by surprise and remain incalculable. But since this
event is the condition of possibility of any authentic voyage, it obeys
a type of programmed chance." — Catherine Malabou and
