The Other Room 18

Two Events Coming Up

One

Friday 23rd July, 7.30pm

Lisa Jarnot was unable to make the Greenwich Poetry Festival due to flu, so a very welcome and very in-haste reading has been set up.

Lisa is widely acknowledged to be one of the most important poets to come immediately after the Language landslide, along with Stacy Doris, Eleni Sikelianos, Juliana Spahr, Jennifer Moxley, Lisa Robertson, and Deanna Ferguson, and she is a fabulous performer / reader.  It will certainly be an evening to remember.

Performatives after Deconstruction

Tuesday 29th - Wednesday 30th June

Since Derrida, de Man and Miller first read Austin, the encounter between deconstruction and the performative has affected every discipline of the humanities (politics, law, architecture, literature, philosophy, psychoanalysis, critical theory, cultural studies, etc.). Analyses have multiplied and have put into relief the performative structure of concepts and traditions in a search for their conditions and laws of possibility. This conference seeks to understand the current terrain of the performative after deconstruction: its heritage, its operation and its future.
