    (. . . ) respect for the other, that is, for his right to difference, in his relation to others, but also in his relation to himself. What are all these grand words saying here? Not only respect for the right to error, even to an aberration, (. . . ) not only respect for the right to a history, a transformation of oneself and one’s thought that can never be totalised or reduced to something homogeneous (and those who practice this reduction give …

  • The Autobiographical Subject and the Death Penalty

    Open AccessE S BurtARTICLEOxford Literary Review2013Cited by: 1

The lyric is generally the target here, although other poetic forms are also open to the charge of retreat from the public arena of history and politics.
