DESCRIPTION:<p>The Writing &amp\; Society Research Centre and the Philosophy Research Initiative at UWS presents following seminar on Wednesday March 7.</p>\n\n<p>PRESENTER: Dimitris Vardoulakis\, UWS&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>TITLE: Rebel\, Saint or Unexceptional? Coetzee&rsquo\;s Michael K.</p>\n<p>TIME: March 07\, 2-4pm</p>\n<p>PLACE: UWS Bankstown Campus\, 3.G.55</p>\n\n<p>ABSTRACT: In this presentation I will consider how Michael K.\, Coetzee&rsquo\;s re-working of Heinrich von Keist&rsquo\;s famous rebel\, Michael Kohlhaas\, can be understood as a biopolitical subject. I read Michael K.&nbsp\; in relation to the theory of racism that Foucault puts forward at the end of his lectures <em>Society Must be Defended</em>. I will argue that traces of older configurations of power\, both ancient and modern\, are still present in the novella\, turning it into a meditation on sovereignty.</p>\n\n<p>BIO: Dimitris Vardoulakis (UWS) is the author of <em>The Doppelg&auml\;nger</em> (Fordham University Press\, 201) and the editor of <em>Spinoza Now</em> (University of Minnesota Press\, 2011).</p>\n\n<p>For the entire 2012 program of the Philosophy seminar series at UWS see: <a href="http://www.uws.edu.au/philosophy/philosophy@uws/events/research_seminars_2012">http://www.uws.edu.au/philosophy/philosophy@uws/events/research_seminars_2012</a></p>\n\n<p>Contact: <a href="mailto:philosophy@uws.edu.au">philosophy@uws.edu.au</a></p>
