Gohar Homayounpour briefly attempts to propose a politics of dark maternality which is more singular, disturbing, radical, and a more realistic account of the maternal. This politics adheres to deconstructing the existing maternal discourse towards a new/singular discourse of maternal impossibility. This singularity can paradoxically only be addressed via the universality of the maternal, in the name of difference and not that of sameness. In final analysis, via an ethics of the social, where one gazes elsewhere towards others, where the dyadic strangulations of maternal passion could begin to transform and move beyond what resists signification into birthing a new beginning.
