#CfP for the Symposium "Teaching (With) #Picturebooks: Context, Competences, #Criticism", which will take place at the University of Rostock on November 25-26, 2024.
Why yes, I will completely avoid the present this evening by tucking into my nearly 70-year-old edition of 7 Types of Ambiguity. Appropriate that it arrived today when, to rephrase #Shakespeare, I've been feeling quite out of joint in time.
Even if I'm never able to explain more than the very basic idea of Hélène Cixous's Double Oblivion of the Ourang-Outang, I will still offer all thanks to the literary gods for having brought it my way. What an incredible work, which I finished last night, and will go ahead and classify at least partially as #poetry, even as it probably also falls under #philosophy, #theory, #criticism, #essays, and so much more. All hail the unclassifiables!
