Abstract

Sunday juxtaposes curiosity, religion and desire amidst the clash of acute sounds vying for attention. These sounds – the banality of knives and forks scraping plates, the instruction of a sermon being delivered via the radio, and a horse’s breath and steps – set and break boundaries, revealing the rupture desire presents in social and cultural norms.
