Introduction: Reading Ethics and Logics of Individuation in the Southern Cone

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

In this introductory chapter, I develop the connection between cultural production, ethics, and the logics of individuation—the formation of a discrete mode of identity—as a necessary corrective to other ethical modes. To understand ethics as not only a mIndividuationode of reflection, but a rhetorical mode of inscribing meaning, I develop a reading of three notions derived from the work of Peter Hallward, Gilles Deleuze, and Alain Badiou: The Singular, the Specified, and the Specific. This is the theoretical frame for my book and I establish this in the next chapter, arguing for the necessity to reimagine textual criticism through the Hallwardian frame.
