Session Description:
This roundtable explores the institutionalization of "identity knowledges" by engaging Robyn Wiegman's Object Lessons, a pathbreaking analysis of the "political desire" that has shaped women's, ethnic, sexuality, and American studies. Less an author-meets-critic session than a collaborative discussion, the session reconsiders identity studies and the future of the humanities.
Subjects:
-
General Literature – Literary Criticism and Theory
