"Scheme and Otherness in Our Work with Art"Are you missing art during the pandemic? Frequent, passionate declarations about missing art imply a devotion that’s hard to square with the techniques of disciplinary control rife in much humanities scholarship. It’s difficult to imagine that art missed us, given our collective tendency to subdue our objects’ otherness by making their silences speak and rearranging any inconveniences they might pose (among other means). Is it possible that, in the actual art situations to which we’re now returning, we occupy a relation—a meeting with difference—that standard practice induces scholars to render productive, rather than inhabit responsibly, accountably? Such are the subjects of this talk.
