Programme

The aim of the course is to offer a reflection on the peculiar forms of intersection, during the second half of the last century, between metaliterary reflection and philosophical discourse. Starting from the Aristotelian origins of a theory about the literary dimension of artistic creativity, the course will focus on authors and works that, between practice and theory of literature, entered into dialogue with contemporary philosophical thought or influenced its development at the end of the 20th century. Particular attention will be paid to those thinkers - Derrida, Deleuze, Foucault, Lacan, Girard - who, due to the intrinsic literariness of their discursive style, have placed themselves at the crossroads between philosophy and literature.
