Doxtader, Erik
Professor
Doxtader's research is addressed to the ways in which oral and written expression holds and composes the potential for ethical life, a manifold form of power that offers recognition in excess of identity and which figures reconciliation not as an abstract promise of peace but as a critique of legal violence in which political subjectivation and the possibilities of human rights are reconstituted through a confrontation with the question of language as such.
