Recent project has sought to rescue an ethical politics from Adorno’s account of the aesthetic. This project focuses on Adorno’s work on modernist literature/art, exploring in particular the limitations of his account of the ethical remainder deposited in the modernist text. It develops themes currently being explored in the course of an AHRC-funded PhD on ‘”Lending Voice to Suffering”: Themes and Variations in the Work of T.W. Adorno’, and another on the interconnections between postmodernism and memorialisation. The candidate with work with the Critical Studies Research Group and participate in the various PhD seminar series hosted by this group and CAPPE. The Critical Studies Research Group has three primary areas of theoretical interest: the politics of critical theory; post Marxist theoretical work, notably that of Laclau and Ranciere, and speculative materialism. This PhD contributes to the first of these interests, and links the group to research across the Faculty of Arts. We seek applications from candidates in critical theory, whose work hitherto evidences engagement with both aesthetics and ethics.
