Auszug aus Julia Bees Beitrag Titel
»In this paper, I will discuss Didier Eribon’s recent books , Société comme verdict and more specifically, his more conceptual collection of essays Principes d’une pensée critique in relation to my own teaching and writing as well as in regard to modes of writing in academic contexts. Both teaching and writing are key scenarios of taking a side/site. I want to propose re-thinking forms of academic and biographical writing like Eribon’s as an “existential territory (Guattari 1996: 134) which is not simply a place but a milieu for new individuations or subjectivities to emerge. By producing situated knowledge of and from the side/site of his social background, Eribon entangles two operations: in considering his social milieu he both affirms his background and investigates it as a place of departure or ‘anchoring point’ by leaving this place of shame and self-destruction. Thus, Retour à Reims is at once both a return and a new becoming, an entanglement of past and future acts of subjectivation (Foucault 1986, 2005).
