This essay argues that from Heidegger’s pre-discursive disclosure of truth to Nancy’s sexuated ontology and Kittler’s hypothesis about the birth of the phonetic alphabet, Sappho is reduced to the trope of the maternal-yet-jealous-lover and transfigured into a doubly self-signifying absence wherein hetero-adjacency goes hand in hand with a supposed Europe-adjacency. Revisiting a philological uncertainty in Poem 1, I show instead that rather than ruled by her passions, Sappho is artfully in control of the many-minded inhabitations of her personae and, as such, mounts a challenge to the way the public sphere has been understood since at least Kant. Contrasting Sappho’s constructions of synaesthetic space and recursive time with Carazan’s dream, the short story that, for Kant, illustrates the “terrifyingly sublime” feeling prompting sociability among the unsociable, I argue that Sappho combines love and strategy to bring friend and foe together in an enchanted state that, as a spectre of her Aeolic dialect in Poem 31 illustrates, advances a politics of non-recognition.","PeriodicalId":46840,"journal":{"name":"DIACRITICS-A REVIEW OF CONTEMPORARY CRITICISM","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44425687","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A subversion and a decolonization of the regime of audibility—one that forces us to listen to what is otherwise constantly rendered unheard and unheard-of—is the only way to begin seriously taking up the question of what it would mean to embody, from a theoretical perspective, the category—historically imposed, philosophically problematized, and in urgent need of decolonization—of “woman.”","PeriodicalId":46840,"journal":{"name":"DIACRITICS-A REVIEW OF CONTEMPORARY CRITICISM","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47488555","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The Plastic Turn","authors":"R. Ghosh","doi":"10.1353/dia.2021.0003","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/dia.2021.0003","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract:There is currently considerable interest, across a variety of different fields, in the quality of plasticity. The philosopher Catherine Malabou, for instance, identifies plasticity as “the motor scheme of our time,” and has applied the concept to fields ranging from continental philosophy to neuroscience to literature. In this essay, I propose a plastic turn that emphasizes not the formal quality of plasticity, as do Malabou and others, but rather a plastic turn that takes inspiration from the materiality of plastic itself—what I call the material-aesthetic. Plastic speaks as a material, in its material formations, in modes of structuration, and in metaphoric figurality that imports “excess signification” into our aesthetic understanding and critical thinking. Explaining briefly what I mean by material-aesthetic, I propose to construct the plastic turn around two points of connection: first, through what I call the “in-laboratory” event that foregrounds the distinctness of polymeric forms and the manifestations that additives bring to plastic’s behavior, and second, the “outside-laboratory” event where plastic becomes an increasingly ubiquitous contaminant within the global ecosystem and develops its own ways and character traits. My argument considers the growth and formation (substance-variety through multiple applications and chemical synthesis) and dissemination (oceanic movements and sea-land drifts and percolations) of plastic in the context of corresponding developments in literature and critical thought beginning with the turn of the twentieth century. In its molecularity, polymericity and molarity, plastic points to a turn in twentieth-century thinking across disciplines and discourses. It is the material-aesthetic as the operative theory-machine.","PeriodicalId":46840,"journal":{"name":"DIACRITICS-A REVIEW OF CONTEMPORARY CRITICISM","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44776322","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
