The Mandela Enigma
Sekend-Hend Europe
Epistemology and ontology clash when it comes to “Eastern Europe.” Clashes of this sort try to escape the categories that are at odds and turn toward terminological solutions. But such a move only aggravates the problem while appearing to trivialize it. The terminological instability has historical causes, and the history is a disputed one. Cities and people have multiple names, boundaries are uncertain, and there is no agreement on a protocol to…
Friedrich Kittler (1943–2011)
This is a brief introduction to the life and work of Friedrich Kittler placed in the context of his relation to Heidegger, Foucault, and Lacan
March 1968 in Poland
Since the three partitions it suffered in the eighteenth century, Poland has been eccentric to the main currents of European history, sometimes lagging behind them, sometimes anticipating them. In March 1968, Polish students and intellectuals anticipated their European and American counterparts by challenging the regime in power. This essay traces the intellectual genealogy of the March 1968 movement, focusing on the importance of nihilism and on…

The Politics of Citation
Correcting Kant
In all of the writings attributed to Bakhtin, indeed in all of the writings of the Bakhtin Circle, there are, to the best of my knowledge, only two references to the intercultural interactions that I mention in my subtitle. Both are exceedingly brief and have failed so far to elicit commentary from the burgeoning Bakhtin cottage industry. My aim in this paper is not so much to repair this oversight as it is to draw attention to the pivotal role p…

The Construction of Meaning
WHAT DOES SEMIOTICS HAVE to offer to the study of literature? The question is legitimate from the point o view of literary criticism, but it is quite problematic for the semiotician, who knows full well that, to the critic, semiotics and are two distinct entities, opposable to each other, if not structurally at least historically, whereas for him there is no such thing as but only texts or signifying practices which, at a given time and for a giv…
