Franco Berardi: Poetry Abstraction and the Comeback of the Body.
The process of abstraction has been the main trend of the 20th Century. Art, particularly poetry, has been a space of experimentation, of the emancipation of the sign from the referent.
The James K. Binder Lectureship in Literature is made possible by Mr. Binder’s bequest and honors his wishes that we bring leading European intellectuals to UC San Diego to provide a forum for rigorous discussions of literary topics.
