Early Modern Literature Forum: Wounding the Tissue of the Text in Keats’s ‘Fall of Hyperion’
Friday, 29 May 2015 (4-6pm)
Room 202A, Learning and Innovation Building (17), University of Queensland (St Lucia Campus)
In this forum, Jennifer Wawrzinek (Junior Professor in British Romanticism at the English Institute, Freie Universität Berlin) will examine the dual situating of radical alterity (or in Keatsian terms, of ‘negative capability’) and a materiality that is pushed to its end limit (or what she calls ‘radical materiality’) as a textual process that produces the accidents it receives through a self-engendered decreation as an intrinsic textual plasiticty. By focusing on Keats’s last unfinished epic poem entitled The Fall of Hyperion. A Dream, Jennifer will examine the idea of a textual form that inheres an alterity which is both other than the same and other to otherness itself. For further information, click here.
