Bøker av Jacques Khalip

Last Things explores lastness as a formal structure in romantic and post-romantic literature and art as something other than either a privation or a conclusion. It touches on the unthinkable dimensions of our life and world, and reads the fate of romanticism as a limit of the human.

In Anonymous Life: Romanticism and Dispossession, Khalip approaches romantic subjectivity's fascination with anonymity as an ethics of engaged withdrawal or strategic reticence, arguing that anonymity is an alternative model of being that resists the requirement to inhabit a social category and remains open to change and re-description.
