The Absurd: The soft sutura is the quirk of the absurd.    From Wordnik.com.  [Archive 2009-06-01] Reference

The soft sutura is an absurd incongruity in the text, something that “would not happen” in such a context.    From Wordnik.com.  [Archive 2009-06-01] Reference

The sutura is a special case perhaps, because it runs the gamut from Pinteresque conversational/behavioural non sequiturs like in THE BIRTHDAY PARTY (where the disruption of conventional conversational logic is designed to force a re-evaluation of the system itself, a search for a truer logic of human interactions) to out-and-out breaches of causality like in BUFFET FROID.    From Wordnik.com.  [Modality and Hamlet] Reference

We might perhaps stretch and blur the strictures of logic to cover the cold calculus of survival, see in the hero's embrace of death a soft sutura, a breach of human nature's basic imperative to live.    From Wordnik.com.  [On the Sublime] Reference

Where the narrative represents events that contravene these we have four flavours of quirk respectively (expanding on Suvin's coinage/exaptation of "novum" and following his naming strategy): sutura; chimera; erratum; novum.    From Wordnik.com.  [Archive 2009-06-01] Reference

It is, at the very least, distinctly not contingent on what “did happen” (a non sequitur); as this hardens to a contingency on such developments not happening, the soft sutura acquires a “could not happen” modality, becomes a sutura proper.    From Wordnik.com.  [Archive 2009-06-01] Reference

We might speculate that all these views are identifying different aspects of a (soft) sutura monstrum, that what they point to is a strategy of rendering the monstrum dysfunctional by binding it to a sutura with a modality of “would not happen”.    From Wordnik.com.  [Archive 2009-06-01] Reference

For a sutura: Because it is one of the numerous things that could happen if you suspend your belief (your belief being equal to your suspension of disbelief when it comes to fiction) in the necessity of strictly logical concatenation of events in a story.    From Wordnik.com.  [Modality and Hamlet] Reference

If you buy into the idea of postmodernity as an era, you might well argue that the conflation of pataphysics and postmodernism is only natural: those sutura are signs of the times; texts adopt them because they're addressing this postmodern era; it's only sensible to see these sutured texts as essentially postmodern.    From Wordnik.com.  [Notes on Strange Fiction: Postmodern(ism)] Reference

In the sutura limbosa, there is besides the interlocking, a certain degree of bevelling of the articular surfaces, so that the bones overlap one another, as in the suture between the parietal and frontal bones.    From Wordnik.com.  [III. Syndesmology. 3. Classification of Joints] Reference

When the margins of the bones are connected by a series of processes, and indentations interlocked together, the articulation is termed a true suture (sutura vera); and of this there are three varieties: sutura dentata, serrata, and limbosa.    From Wordnik.com.  [III.
