WiSe 19/20: Desire and/against Identity

Bernardo Teixeira de Carvalho

Kommentar

Why do we give up the risks and the adventure of literature as an experiential process, while embracing it as a more conventional form, as confirmation of what we already know, like and want to believe in? Why do we withdraw from what defies us and contradicts our expectations? Does it have to do with social and political insecurity? What are we talking about when we talk about "identity"? What exactly is this "identity" we take for granted and expect literature to represent? Is literature a propositional form? Or is it an instrument for investigating unknown regions, a form of knowledge, a reflexive activity? How dynamic and contradictory can a process of identification be? And what is the part of desire in it? Would literature as a reflexive and experiential process risk the assurances to which we entrust the concept of "identity"? Through an arc wide enough as to encompass writers as diverse as the Brazilian author Euclides da Cunha and Melville, Machado de Assis and Conrad, Robert Walser and Proust; the Japanese Junijiro Tanizaki and the French Georges Bataille and Michel Leiris; Foucault and the anthropologist Philippe Descola, the Brazilian filmaker Glauber Rocha and the Portuguese João César Monteiro, this course proposes to convey the questions, interests and literary concerns that inform the novels of a Brazilian contemporary writer at work in a country under deep political and identity turmoil.
