Even the most minimal determinations of human being continue to be troublesome to the extent that they institute human being as a universal category, and thus subject to politics and the politics of representation. This panel questions essential representations of humanity at the level of the subject. Possible paper topics include but are not limited to the intersection of recent post-community theory (Nancy, Agamben, Derrida, Lingis, Anderson) and literature (of whatever period), the influence of post-community theory on "rights" discourses, the significance of Lacanian psychoanalysis for the thinking of community, the challenge of post-community theory for the social sciences. Also welcome are papers that treat film, popular culture, music, etc. at the limits of representation. Particularly welcome are those papers that seek to read texts in the name of a coming community.

Please send proposals (250 words) by March 30 to Tim Deines.
