Poetry and Philosophy Reading GroupTBCHow does poetry defend itself in the court of philosophy? Does it have any say in the matter; or does someone, or something, speak on its behalf? Does philosophy, in a perverse inversion, ever get tried in the court of poetry? This reading group places itself in the thick of these trials, tracing the debates they wage and the judgements they provoke. Readings will include 21st century texts that have taken the challenging entanglement of poetics and philosophy forward. These texts will be read beside the poems they discuss or the poems that suggest themselves through the text. We invite students and Faculty members from Departments across the University to join us! Session 1: The Affect of Poetry Rei Terada, 'Looking Away: Phenomenality and Dissatisfaction', Kant to Adorno (p.35-73) Adrienne Rich: 'What is Found There' Samuel Taylor Coleridge: 'Constancy to an Ideal Object' Vinod Kumar Shukla: 'I Toss a Bunch of Keys' Guest Discussant: Dr Stacey McDowell |

Hegel Reading GroupRoom S1.141We are a group dedicated to collectively reading the core works of the German philosopher, G.W.F. Hegel (1770-1831). Our goal is to facilitate a better understanding of the often difficult contents of Hegel's texts and to provide a forum for meaningful engagement between his thought and contemporary questions. Although we are primarily made up of postgraduate students working on Hegel, we happily welcome non-philosophers and beginners in Hegel's philosophy to join us at any point. This term we will be working on the third part of Hegel's Science of Logic, the Doctrine of Concept. Please bring a copy of the book for the session. We will mainly use the Di Giovanni translation, but there are usually no problems if people bring other translations (Miller, etc).
