Calque Ideas provides an opportunity for writers to think aloud, using their own experiences and knowledge to approach topics in an accessible and attractive way.

In this essay, Liliana Carstea and Timothy J. Jarvis make the case for a literature of constraint, finding that ritual and the external organisation of any writing environment open new spaces for the discoveries writers may not yet know they are going to make. Blending personal history and a range of reference that runs from Jungian archetype to Raymond Roussel and the Oulipo, the two authors gesture to the ways in which a text can serve as a map of the unconscious that is created by our passage through it.
