Conversations about ethics and politics are of paramount importance
to the present conjuncture. In this work, Ricky Varghese attempts a
close reading of certain key literary texts by Franco- Czech
novelist Milan Kundera wherein one might see the ways in which the
novelist has attempted a discussion about how the subjects of self
and other are founded on the possibility of/for ethics within an
intimate cosmopolitical space. The work gestures toward a move from
and beyond universal conversations about cosmopolitanism to a more
nuanced reading of the cosmopolitical space as one being founded on
ethics and intimate encounters between self and other. Bringing
together psychoanalytic theory as it pertains to embodiment,
literary criticism in his readings of Kundera's texts, and the
ethical philosophy of Jacques Derrida and Emmanuel Levinas, Ricky
Varghese attempts to think about cosmopolitanism differently, as
the locus point where intimacy, ethics, and justice can be
initiated into the conversation between self and other, as subjects
that are mutually constituted.
