"Knowledge can only be genuinely transitional if it is biographical knowledge. ... Biographicity means that we can redesign again and again, from scratch, the contours of our life within the specific contexts in which we (have to) spend it, and that we experience these contexts as shapeable and designable. ... The main issue is to decipher the ‘surplus meanings’ of our biographical knowledge, and that in turn means perceiving the potentiality of our unlived lives."
