WORKSHOP PRESENTATION: João Tiago FREITAS MENDES in Ghostly Presences: Spectralization in Literature, Art & Philosophy (Lisboa: Univ. de Lisboa , 20 SEPT)

 



On 20 September 2024, drs. João Tiago Freitas Mendes (FCT/VUB) will present a paper on first Heidegger's notion of "clearing" - meaningful, exceptional sparks of  conscience, allowing a subjective change of course and understanding towards a concrete event - as the key concept to understand the work of the novelist José Rodrigues Miguéis (1900-1980). João Tiago Freitas Mendes claims he is the best post-freudian portuguese writer. He studied Law in Portugal and then Pedagogy at the prestigious Free Univ. of Brussels from 1928 to 1933. He lived and died in New York. He was a "persona non grata" to Salazar's dictatorship.
