![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Adorno’s 1958 definition of the essay as a “heretical genre”, we might indeed be tempted to postulate that the essayist’s voice is bestowed on his/her readers at full strength when it engages in a process of systemic critique and current demystifying of dogmas pertaining either to a specific intellectual paradigm or to a historical period at large. Ever since its 17th-century origins, the essay has represented a site where it is possible to engage in vehement public oration – often simply unrequired or explicitly opposed – in the manner of the famous “soapbox orators” in Hyde Park (Sanders 1989). One of the features that anyone embarking on the description of the essay as a genre unquestionably has to face is the indeterminacy that is germane to its essence (Obaldia 1995), which is reflected in a desultory and fragmentary style, made up of anecdotes, illuminations, criticisms and suggestions for further reflection (Berardinelli 2008). ![]() ![]() I love your feminine voice–Carl Gustav Jung would have loved it too, showing the power of individuation!’ (I got the feeling he was too scared to tell me he had heard of Ben Ammi Ben Israel” I will be right there when the movie comes out. ![]() The Ethiopian teacher claimed he did not know who I was talking about.
