In late October 2017, the profoundly sad news of Ross Chambers's
passing reached Australia. Friends and colleagues scattered around
the globe mourned the loss of a person of great 'humanity and
humility', one of the most brilliant minds of his generation. This
book is a tribute to Chambers's life and work and to his legacy
among scholars in the global French studies, comparative literature
and cultural studies communities. It is also rooted in the
Australian context he left behind but never really left, a context
he indelibly marked and where he still lives on. Loiterature,
perhaps Chambers's most famous book, prescribes slow and careful
reading practices but also quick-witted analysis. This collection
draws together tributes, essays and critical responses to his
wide-ranging work from Romanticism to the present, all
demonstrating, through practice, the generative value of
'loitering'. While melancholy and nostalgia are inescapable themes
in this collection, loitering is also about imminent departures.
And his work encourages us to explore that unexpected turn,
possibly leading us in unforeseeable directions. This book suggests
a few ways in which he will travel with us into the future.
