For June 3, we will be reading work by Patrick Dove (Indiana University Bloomington), who will be our invited guest on June 10th. We hope you’ll join us to discuss the following texts:
- Principal Reading: Literature and Interregnum, pp. 1-16 of the “Introduction” and “Afterword” (pp. 261-70)
- Optional reading: “Memory between Politics and Ethics: Del Barco’s Letter”
The selections from Literature and “Interregnum:” Globalization, War, and the Crisis of Sovereignty in Latin America (2016) will give us a taste of what Patrick explores in his most recent monograph, and the piece on Del Barco’s letter aligns nicely with our discussions on Levinasian thought.
