Ethical-Reparative Reconfigurations Of The Literary Today, André Cechinel
Ethical-Reparative Reconfigurations Of The Literary Today, André Cechinel
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
This essay aims to debate the evidence of an ethical-reparative function for literature and literary studies today. Therefore, it is divided into two fundamental moments, two argumentative channels that, without a totalizing intention, point out the general perspective of the current, changing, stuation. On the one hand, the literature of the 20th century is presented through the image of a supposed negativity or radical intransitivity, capable of “undoing the work” in its “aesthetics of suppression.” On the other hand, from an introductory debate around some of the places of transitivity envisioned for literature at the beginning of the 21th century, …
