Leo Bersani and Diasporic Modernity
Leo Bersani and Diasporic Modernity: A thought experiment
Can we approach Leo Bersani as a theorist of diaspora? We will tackle the question by reading Bersani’s work through his engagement with Jean Laplanche’s psychoanalysis and Walter Benjamin’s messianic philosophy.
