Catastrophic Historicism

Reading Julia de Burgos Dangerously

Ronald Mendoza-de Jesús

Catastrophic Historicism shows that historicism is a transcendental ontology that must be challenged by endangering the reduction of the past to a possession.

Willy Thayer

Translated by John Kraniauskas

Technologies of Critique elaborates a critical practice that eludes critique’s capture by institutional and market logics. Building on Chile’s history of dissident art and its entangling of politics and aesthetics, Thayer engages continental philosophical traditions, to help pinpoint the technologies and media through which art intervenes critically in socio-political life.

Erin Graff Zivin

How do we read after the so-called death of literature? Graff Zivin elaborates anarchaeological reading: reading for the blind spots, errors, points of opacity or untranslatability. Through interdiscursive exposure between continental philosophy and Argentine literature, art, and film, Graff Zivin shows how anarchaeological reading radicalizes the possibility of justice.
