The argument goes through a reading of Adorno’s account of his return to Germany for linguistic reasons, of Nabokov’s Pnin, of the philosophy of precarious life in the work of Guillaume Le Blanc, of Althusser’s theory of ideology and notably the concepts of interpellation and counter-interpellation. |
