Doing Justice
Pablo Oyarzun is one of the foremost Benjamin scholars in Latin America. His writings have shaped the reception of Benjamin’s work in Latin America and have been central to the effort to identify the tasks and responsibilities of the kind of critical theory that would interrupt social violence. In this book Oyarzun examines some of the key concepts in Benjamin’s work – including his concepts of translation, experience, history and storytelling – and relates them to his own systematic reflection on the nature and implications of ‘doing justice’. What is meant by the words ‘justice was done’? The passive voice is important here. On the one hand, justice does nothing: it is not ...
Literature and Skepticism
Literature and Skepticism links the skeptic attitude to the conditions of possibility in (modern) literature—in particular, the narrative form and the essay. Pablo Oyarzun proposes that narrative and the essay document the relationship between literature and skepticism in different but complementary and, at the same time, complicit ways. As the narrative performance reaches the structural limit of the literary—understood as the domain of fiction—a sort of para-discursive reflection critically accompanies this performance, discussing it, ironizing it, feigning to disbelieve it, or overtly belying it. Yet the narrative doubtfully takes distance from itself, surrendering all right to a final truth at the very moment at which truth emerges, essayistic, to the surface. The authors considered—Montaigne, Swift, Lichtenberg, Kleist, Kafka, and Borges—are eminent representatives of one and the other form, and all of the works analyzed are cases of a complex interplay between narrative and essay.
Between Celan and Heidegger
The relevance of Martin Heidegger’s thinking to Paul Celan’s poetry is well known. Between Celan and Heidegger proposes that, while the relation between them is undeniable, it is also marked by irreducible discord. Pablo Oyarzun begins with a deconstruction of Celan’s Todtnauberg, written after the poet visited Heidegger in his Schwarzwald cabin. The poem stands as a milestone, not only in the complex relationship between the two men but also in the state of poetry and philosophy in late modernity, in the aftermath of the Holocaust. Discussion then turns to The Meridian, Celan’s acceptance speech for the prestigious Büchner Prize for German language literature. Other issues are insi...
Letal e incruenta
En principio, este volumen surge con el propósito de revisar la traducción existente de "Para una crítica de la violencia" realizada hace algunos años por Pablo Oyarzún, con miras a realizar algunos ajustes, completar varias fuentes usadas por Benjamin y dar mayor visibilidad a una serie de términos y enunciados de compleja traducción y delicada interpretación, cuyas problemáticas han alimentado, en las últimas décadas, conocidas controversias filosóficas, como las que se dan a propósito de las lecturas de Jacques Derrida, Giorgio Agamben o Werner Hamacher, entre algunos de los destacados lectores contemporáneos de este escrito. Nuestro objetivo ha sido generar una herramienta de estudio que facilite el trabajo y la discusión a las investigaciones futuras que este célebre texto, indudablemente, seguirá estimulando a corto y largo plazo.
