The Periodic Table of Literature
This article reflects on the genealogy of what the author terms Occidentocentrism: the resilient belief that Western literatures are qualified and entitled to furnish a natural observation platform, a vantage point from which to spectate and judge the literatures of other cultural zones whose formation proceeded, for some not inconsiderable time, along a different path and following rather different assumptions. The framework posited by the class…
Alexandre Kojève
This article examines Alexandre Kojève's attempts to differentiate between philosophy and wisdom; he thought of the two, particularly later on in his career, but also earlier, as distinctly non-identical. I trace Kojève's transition from philosophy to practice in the corridors of power, motivated by his quest for wisdom, by outlining in some detail his stance on globalisation and the role of the state in his post-war dialogue with Carl Schmitt
Whose Cosmopolitanism?
The term cosmopolitan is increasingly used within different social, cultural and political settings, including academia, popular media and national politics. However those who invoke the cosmopolitan project rarely ask whose experience, understanding, or vision of cosmopolitanism is being described and for whose purposes? In response, this volume assembles contributors from different disciplines and theoretical backgrounds to examine cosmopolitan…

Exilic Marxisms
This paper discusses exile and emigration as factors in the encounters of art, philosophy, cultural criticism, and political power in Soviet Russia under Stalin. While by now we possess considerable knowledge about emigration and exile from Eastern and Central Europe to the West in the 1920s and 1930s, we have tended to under-research and under-conceptualize the alternative destination. Seemingly less glamorous and lastingly tainted by the open g…
Romanticism’s Longue Durée
The immediate purpose of this essay is to offer a brief reflection on 1968 as a nodal point in the appropriations and deployments of Romanticism, not least as a diagnostic tool. The essay substantiates the case for the continuous afterlife of Romanticism in the various guises of post-romanticism, a process which de-emphasizes the notion of period or indeed event, and constructs instead a complex discursive formation that renegotiates past intelle…
Exilic Inscriptions
This essay reflects the author's interest in understanding the reasons for the growing resistance to theory witnessed over the last couple of decades. The first part attempts to demonstrate that literature and literary theory have been involved in complex dialectical moves between autonomy and heteronomy. The second part focuses on the role of exile in the production and negation of theory; two case studies examine both the potency of theory in e…
Revisiting Lukács' theory of realism
This paper focuses on Georg Lukács, for it is in his work, and the attendant debates and disagreements, that an entire constellation of questions around Realism is first compellingly formulated. The purpose of the paper is to revisit Lukács' theory of realism as a response to a host of mainstream currents shaping the landscape of Continental philosophy in the first three decades of the 20th century. Particular attention is paid to the problem of …

Interrogating Modernity
On the Significance of Historical Poetics
This invited foreword to a cluster of four essays on historical poetics seeks to establish how the relevance of Historical Poetics is reclaimed today. Affinities, differences, and questions of commensurability and historical contextualization are raised as part of the discussion. The foreword also attempts to resituate Historical Poetics within current debates on “world literature.” In this light it reconsiders the work of Mikhail Bakhtin, sugges…
Filosofia e pensamento social russo
Neste ensaio estudo as continuidades que permeiam - frequentemente escondidas sob mudanças políticas dramáticas - o cenário da filosofia e do pensamento social no período soviético, da Revolução de Outubro, em 1917, à queda da URSS em 1991
Ensaios de Bakhtin sobre o romance (1935-1941)
This essay traces the Russian intellectual traditions informing Bakhtin's work on the novel and pose the question of his originality in a more substantiated way then has been the case so far. I concentrate on the discourses of literary theory and history to discuss in more detail Veselovski, the Formalists, and Olga Freidenberg, and to touch upon Griftsov and the Moscow discussion about the novel held in December 1934 and January 1935, in which L…
Kosmopolitismus in der Diskurslandschaft der Postmoderne
A importância do grotesco
Proponho a consideração do grotesco tanto como gênero discursivo, atitude e prática cultural, quanto como um ponto de partida que nos permite comentar mais amplamente a obra de Bakhtin relativa a Rabelais e seu significado para as discussões atuais referentes à subjetividade. No carnaval, o épico reverbera a memória ilimitada "das perturbações cósmicas passadas", enquanto o romanesco vive na flutuação grotesca e remoção de distâncias e, por meio …
Pour une histoire de la pensée russe
Cet article étudie les continuités qui se font jour, souvent cachées par des changements politiques dramatiques, sur la scène de la philosophie et de la pensée sociale pendant la période soviétique, depuis la Révolution d’Octobre en 1917 jusqu’à la désintégration de l’URSS en 1991. Comme le paradigme intellectuel dominant de toute cette période était le marxisme, toute réflexion sérieuse sur la question de la continuité doit non seulement prendre…

Cet article interroge la manière dont les cultures produisent leurs traditions et essaie d’expliquer le lieu et le rôle de la théorie bakhtinienne du roman dans un tel processus dans la Russie soviétique des années 1930. J’entreprends cet examen sur la toile de fond des débats contemporains concernant la communauté, la langue et le classique, dans l’Allemagne des années 1920 et 1930. Ces discussions esquissent un horizon qui aide à mieux comprend…
The Politics of Estrangement
I discuss here Shklovsky's theory of estrangement as formulated in a number of texts written before the October revolution of 1917. The concept of estrangement can only be properly grasped if the early Shklovsky is placed in the context of World War I; we need to begin to see him as an author shaped by that war and as a participant in the larger constellation of brilliant European essayists who responded to this momentous event. To this end, the …
