While pointing out that reflections on disaster were not foreign to what we historically call romanticism, Last Things pushes romantic thought toward an altogether new way of conceiving the ?end of things,? one that treats lastness as neither privation nor conclusion. Through quieter, non-emphatic modes of thinking the end of human thought, Khalip explores lastness as what marks the limits of our life and world. Reading the fate of romanticism?and romantic studies?within the key of the last, Khalip refuses to elegize or celebrate our ends, instead positing romanticism as a negative force that exceeds theories, narratives, and figures of survival and sustainability. Each chapter explores a range of romantic and contemporary materials: poetry by John Clare, Emily Dickinson, John Keats, Percy Shelley, and William Wordsworth; philosophical texts by William Godwin, David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau; paintings by Hubert Robert, Caspar David Friedrich, and Paterson Ewen; installations by Tatsuo Miyajima and James Turrell; and photography by John Dugdale, Peter Hujar, and Joanna Kane. Shuttling between temporalities, Last Things undertakes an original reorganization of romantic thought for contemporary culture. It examines an archive on the side of disappearance, perishing, the inhuman, and lastness. 410 0$aLit z. 606 $aLiterature$xPhilosophy 606 $aRomanticism$xHistory and criticism 610 $aDugdale. 610 $aEwen. 610 $aHujar. 610 $aKant. 610 $aKeats. 610 $aShelley. 610 $aWordsworth. 610 $aextinction. 610 $alastness. 610 $alife. 610 $aphotography. 610 $aromanticism. 615 0$aLiterature$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aRomanticism$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a809/.9145 700 $aKhalip$b Jacques$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01102688 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910811700803321 996 $aLast Things$94002442 997 $aUNINA
