These are some of the most quoted lines written by Samuel Beckett, which speak to the impulse of persevering in times of crisis and impossibility. Yet few readers of Beckett agree about what this paradoxical formula could mean, let alone what mode of engagement it would seem to indicate, be it committed, autonomous, or something else entirely. This volume of essays explores what that mode of engagement could be, all the while elucidating the ethical and political stakes of the ?ongoing? in both Beckett?s life and work. Across multiple disciplines in the humanities, the authors delve into questions of political subjectivity and representation, the ethics of powerlessness and refusal, the aesthetics of syncopation and destitution, multimedia experiments between genre, as well as Beckett?s wider impact on transnational itineraries of modernism and philosophy up to the contemporary. Michael Krimper teaches in the French and English departments at New York University, USA, where he received his PhD in Comparative Literature. His forthcoming book, Out of Work: The Refusal of Literature from Melville to Blanchot, examines the crystallization of an antiwork aesthetics and politics in late modernist writing and theory. He is also the editor of a recent special issue for the Journal of Beckett Studies that published Beckett?s lost translations on the Marquis de Sade. His articles, reviews, and translations have appeared in New Literary History, diacritics, SubStance, parallax, October, the Journal of Italian Philosophy, and the Los Angeles Review of Books, among other venues. Gabriel Quigley is a doctoral candidate in the Department of Comparative Literature at New York University, USA. Combining comparative modernisms, continental philosophy, and postcolonial theory, his work focuses on retrieving concealed paradigms of possibility and freedom. His articles and translations have been published or are forthcoming in Samuel Beckett Today/Aujourd'hui, French Studies Bulletin, Derrida Today, Critical Inquiry, Journal of Modern Literature, and Interventions: International Journal of Postcolonial Studies. 410 0$aNew Interpretations of Beckett in the Twenty-First Century,$x2945-6800 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y20th century 606 $aCritical theory 606 $aLiterature$xAesthetics 606 $aContinental philosophy 606 $aTwentieth-Century Literature 606 $aCritical Theory 606 $aLiterary Aesthetics 606 $aContinental Philosophy 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aCritical theory. 615 0$aLiterature$xAesthetics. 615 0$aContinental philosophy. 615 14$aTwentieth-Century Literature. 615 24$aCritical Theory. 615 24$aLiterary Aesthetics. 615 24$aContinental Philosophy. 676 $a828.91409 702 $aKrimper$b Michael 702 $aQuigley$b Gabriel 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911001461703321 996 $aBeckett Ongoing$94377633 997 $aUNINA
