SLAV 25301 /35301 - Gombrowicz:The Writer as Philosopher

Institution:

University of Chicago

Subject:

Description:

The spell exercised by Witold Gombrowicz over his readers has to do, at least in part, with the brilliant linguistic enactment of philosophical discourse in his fiction. Through a reading of his novel Ferdydurke, we analyze how he moves away from traditional philosophical approaches to (inter)subjectivity, order, and chaos to articulate his own creative dissolutions. Gombrowicz's A Guide to Philosophy in Six Hours and Fifteen Minutes serves as the ironic and provoking introduction to the course and, for those uninitiated, to philosophy. B. Shallcross. Winter.
