This book is made up of a set of innovative close readings and
meditations on the significance of the modes and logics of
separation in the thinking of aesthetic modernity. Separation is
defined in Hegelian and psychoanalytic terms as psychic processes
in the formation of identity that necessarily entail self-division
and estrangement in the emergence of subjectivity and social
identity. This phenomenon, called subjection, has been at the core
of psychoanalytic readings since the work of Melanie Klein. The
works under consideration in the volume include material by W.E.B.
Du Bois, Frantz Fanon, C.L.R. James, Ralph Ellison, Theresa Hak
Kyung Cha, and Paul Celan, as well as the sorrow songs/Negro
Spirituals. In each case the moment of passivity and modes of
separation are approached as sites of inescapable conflict. The
varying psychic, ethical, and political tensions underwriting this
experience are examined in detail for each case study.
