Sharing Common Ground makes a compelling contribution to an
important emerging field that affects a broad swath of humanities.
It uses historical, photographic, and literary examples, including
an entirely new translation of a little known work by Marguerite
Duras, presented here in full, to showcase the ethical capacity of
art. Robert Harvey deploys critical tools borrowed from literature,
aesthetics, and philosophy to mobilize the thought of several
seminal figures in literature and theory including Michel Foucault,
Marguerite Duras, Georges Didi-Huberman, and Giorgio Agamben, among
a host of others. Construction sites, concentration camps,
cemeteries, slums-such are only a few of the spaces that impel our
imagination naturally toward what we commonly call "cultural
memory." Sharing Common Ground reveals how the endeavor to think
and imagine in common, and especially about the spaces we inhabit
together, is critically important to human beings, artistically,
culturally, and ethically.
