Event Heading

How do we curate the field of literature in

selecting certain texts as literary in contrast

to what we might then provisionally call

‘un-literary’ or not-quite literary’? What

happens when we include pamphlets and

manifestos as texts in the syllabus of

literature? In what way does that recalibrate

the prevalent understanding of ‘literary’ in

literature?

This seminar shall explore these questions as

it promises to bring in a slew of manifestos

and pamphlets by literary figures to make

sense of the horizon of literature anew.
