New Book by Professor Carlos Jáuregui
Carlos Jáuregui, Associate Professor of Spanish has released a new book titled Espectros y conjuras. Asedios a la cuestión colonial. The book revisits Derrida's notion of conjure (as exorcism, invocation and conspiracy) to speak of a series of texts that symbolically try to subjugate the “Other” to the order of writing, triggering a sort of return of the repressed (i.e., otherness, violence, horror-- exorcized by the text-- return as textual ruptures and anomalies).
