Zwizschenzustand forever - rhetorics of complete nihilism as politics of undecidability Panel name: Literature and/as the Politics of Undecidability Panel

Introduction: Somewhat in affinity with the work of Jacques Ranciere, the proposed panel takes as its main theme the thought that literature is not political in everyday, conventional sense, but realizes its own particular politics as literature by explicating and being the domain of undecidability. The four presentations in the panel consider various aspects of undecidability in literature and concerning literature so as to determine the status of its specific space.
