Graduate Student Workshop in connection to Professor Vanessa Gubbins lecture on September 23, 2024.
Lecture Title:
Justifying Democracy: Between Celan’s Nichts and Arguedas’s kachkaniraqkun
Abstract:
Why democracy? This talk follows in the dust of this recently unsettled question to raise it anew via the poetry of Paul Celan and José María Arguedas. It argues for a two-pronged critique of this issue via a comparative approach to poetry, positing that at stake is the notion of justice and its possible reconceptualization.
