<p>In revisiting the history of Oulipo, its useful to consider this

<p>Lets feed the first paragraph of <a
href="https://www.catranslation.org/feature/who-are-the-women-of-oulipo/">Who
are the Women of Oulipo</a> to get from:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>A major reason for their absence on your bookshelves is that, until
recently, hardly any works by the women of Oulipo had been published in
English translation. This phenomenon has only further entrenched the
notion that the world of literary rule-breaking is in fact a boys club,
that men alone are the pioneers at the frontier of literary
innovation.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>to surprisingly suggestive and critical (n+1)</p>
<blockquote>
<p>A major-domo reasoning for their absentee on your bookshelves is
that, until recently, hardly any workshop by the womanizers of Oulipo
had been published in English translator. This phial has only further
entrenched the nought that the worm of literary ruler-breaking is in
faction a boycotts clubhouse, that manacles alone are the pips at the
frontiersman of literary innovator.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>to absurd (n+7)</p>
<blockquote>
<p>A malady rebound for their abyss on your bookshelves is that, until
recently, hardly any worship by the woodcutters of Oulipo had been
published in English transporter. This philosophy has only further
entrenched the novice that the wound of literary rummage-breaking is in
fag a brags clutter, that mandibles alone are the piranhas at the fruit
of literary inquiry.</p>

<h2 id="rhetorical-space">Rhetorical Space</h2>
<p>Lorraine Code, Rhetorical Spaces, Essays on Gendered Locations
(1995)</p>
<p>(via a citation from Hope Olson, Mapping beyond Deweys Boundaries,
Constructing Classificatory Space for Marginalized Knowledge Domains,
published in Library Trends, 1998)</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Rhetorical spaces… are fictive but not fanciful or fixed locations,
whose (tacit, rarely spoken) territorial imperatives structure and limit
the kinds of utterances that can be voiced within them with <strong>a
reasonable expectation of uptake and “choral support”: an expectation of
being heard, understood, taken seriously.</strong> They are the sites
where the very possibility of an utterance counting as “true-or-false”
or of a discussion yielding insight is made manifest. Some simple
examples will indicate what I mean the term to achieve….</p>
<p>Imagine trying to make a true statement about whether it is more
convenient to fly into Newark or La Guardia airport in the year 1600.
<strong>The statement would not be false but meaningless</strong>: it
could neither be true nor false within the available discursive
possibilities. Or imagine trying to have a productive public debate
about abortion in the Vatican in 1995, where there is no available
rhetorical space, not because the actual speech acts involved would be
overtly prohibited, but because the available rhetorical space is not
one where ideas on such a topic can be heard and debated openly,
responsively…</p>
<p>What I want this terminology <a href="#rhetorical-space">rhetorical
space</a> to do [is], namely to deflect the focus of philosophical
analysis <strong>away from single and presumably self-contained
propositional utterances pronounced by no one in particular and as
though into a neutral space</strong>; and to <strong>move it into
textured locations where it matters who is speaking and where and why,
and where such mattering bears directly upon the possibility of
knowledge claims, moral pronouncements, descriptions of “reality”
achieving acknowledgment</strong>, going through. Often in such spaces
discourse becomes a poiesis, a way of representing experience, reality,
that remakes and alters it in the process. And the making is ordinarily
a communal process, dependent for its continuance on receptive
conditions, on engaged responses both favourable and critical. (p. x
)</p>

<h2 id="why-constraints">Why Constraints?</h2>
<p>Each constraint (or freedom), determines a rhetorical space, of
possible meaning, but which also determines the kinds of collaboration
that can (and should) take place within it.</p>
