Things in the Decameron: How Objects Become Secular
Dreams of the Universal Library
This article explores the dream of the universal library in Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz’s Theodicy, Jorge Luis Borges’s “The Library of Babel,” and Wim Wenders’s Wings of Desire. This is a story that, though often mentioned, is underexplored in both literary and intellectual histories. Scholars have overlooked the dream of the total library perhaps because this theme appears in works that transcend literary, aesthetic, and philosophical genres. I a…
On n'échappe pas aux ruines, « c'est que l'homme s'assied où la cendre de l'homme repose1: Un débat entre Martin Devecka, Rémi Hadad, Andrew Hui, Paul Landauer et Susan Stewart, mené par Jean-Paul Dem…
Jamais, depuis le XVIII e siècle, les ruines n'ont été l'objet d'une curiosité aussi intense que celle des premières décennies du XXI e siècle.Comme le tremblement de terre de Lisbonne en 1755, l'accident de la centrale de Tchernobyl en 1986, l'assaut contre les tours jumelles de New York le 11 septembre 2001, le raz de marée de Fukushima en 2011, ont profondément marqué les rapports des hommes avec les édifices qu'ils ont érigés, et imposé un no…
A Theory of the Aphorism: From Confucius to Twitter
Aphorism
Aphorism Andrew Hui (bio) 1.) The aphorism comes before, against, and after philosophy Heraclitus comes before and against Plato and Aristotle, Pascal after and against Descartes, Nietzsche after and against Kant and Hegel. The philosopher creates and critiques continuous lines of argument; the aphorist composes scattered yet lapidary lines of intuition. One moves in a chain of discursive logic; the other by arrhythmic leaps and bounds. Much of t…

The textual city: Epic walks in Virgil, Lucan, and Petrarch
This article reads three epic walks — the leading of the defeated Carthaginians through Rome in Book 8 of Petrarch’s Africa; Aeneas’ tour of Arcadia in Book 8 of Virgil’s Aeneid; and Caesar’s visit to Troy in Book 9 of Lucan’s Pharsalia — and explores what they tell us about how time past and time present can co-exist within a single topographic narrative. These texts form important semiotic vectors that intersect cityscape and history; geographi…
