Description

This project argues that the ekphrastic literary object is made out of history, yet is fundamentally unlike antiquarian descriptions of ruins or of any other kind of historical object. Drawing on twentieth-century aesthetic philosophy, especially that of Theodor Adorno, the project attempts to navigate between, on one side, an overly reified, positivist understanding of artworks, and, on the other, a defunct idealism. The project explores how literature relates dynamically to history, and ultimately evokes history's repressed aspects, especially brutality and suffering.
