Franco “Bifo” Berardi Online Seminar “The Last Word: Poetry as Desertion from History”
May 8, 9, 11, 12
Bifo turns to poetry, writing, and art in a moment he describes as an irredeemable human defeat. What is the use of words when history itself feels exhausted? Through Orwell and Henry Miller’s 1936 encounter and the fading ideal of political engagement, Bifo reimagines poetry as an act of desertion—an exit from the violence of history toward another mode of life, sensibility, and imagination.
