Abstract
This paper tries to engage the question of singularity in creative-process of poetry which challenges the dichotomous understanding of form and content. It argues that the self-struggle of Muktibodh is a continuous quest of singularities of reality against the hegemonic ideological reality. It intends to reflect upon the processuality of self-struggle in the context of Muktibodhian critical thinking about creative-process of poetry which allows the possibility to engage and elucidate the convergence and divergence between Alain Badiou’s ‘Truth-Event’ and Foucault’s ‘ascesis’ on one hand and Lacanian Marxist I. Parker’s conception of ‘revolutions in subjectivity’ and Alain Badiou’s ‘subjectivity without a subject’ on the other.
Keywords: Creative-process, Singularity, Truth-Event, Self-Transformation, Subjectivity, Muktibodhian Creative-Process.
