Bøker av 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.

Traces the symbolic presence of Jews and Jewishness in late nineteenth through late-twentieth-century aesthetic works from Argentina, Brazil, Peru, Mexico, Colombia, and Nicaragua. This work highlights the inventions of Jewishness, showing how the concept is constructed as a rhetorical device.
