DESCRIPTION:Le Centre sur les droits de la personne et le pluralisme juridi
 que vous convie à un conférence du cycle Handicap et droits de la personne
  avec Michael Snediker (University of Houston)\,  un poète et un universit
 aire étudiant la littérature américaine et la théorie sur les personnes ha
 ndicapées. Il nous parlera du romancier Henri James\, qui a longtemps souf
 fert de douleur chronique.\n\nRésumé\n\n[En anglais seulement] When it com
 es to Henry James’s ordeal of chronic pain\, critics have either minimized
  it or treated it as an open secret in chiastic relation to the privative 
 subject of his sexuality. No matter the interpretive tack\, these efforts 
 have been uniformly drawn to what James’s 1914 autobiography\, Notes of a 
 Son and Brother\, indelibly\, infamously denominates an “obscure hurt” sus
 tained by an adolescent James in the already over-determined days leading 
 up to the Civil War.\n\nThe estimable challenge of recovering the terms of
  this formulation from the further obscurity of James’s later\, mystifying
  account of it has led critics to understand the former as a synecdochal b
 lack box of sorts for those elements in James’s life least responsive to c
 onventional scrutiny. James and his autobiographical record of the event c
 ontinue accordingly to be treated as though they were not only unable\, bu
 t also practically unwilling to yield some more legible kernel of meaning\
 , giving way instead - if at all - to only a further sense of the inaccess
 ible.\n\nInappreciable as the difference may seem\, these pages redirect o
 ur attention away from the historical injury that Notes of a Son and Broth
 er putatively chronicles to the lush complexities\, all those decades late
 r\, of the latter’s late style. In doing so\, it follows James’s own lead 
 in softening the hard line conventionally drawn between actual and textual
  phenomenality\, tracing those moments in James’s writing where the impact
 ful convergence of these otherwise incommensurable phenomenal fields share
 s a repertoire\, an aesthetic principle\, with the queerness of chronic pa
 in as a distinctly figurative event.\n\nLe conférencier\n\n[En anglais seu
 lement] Michael D. Snediker teaches courses in early American Literature\,
  Transcendentalism\, Henry James\, Modernism\, Poetics\, Queer Theory\, Di
 sability Theory\, and Aesthetics.\n\nHe is the author of Queer Optimism: L
 yric Personhood and other Felicitous Persuasions (U.Minnesota Press\, 2009
 )\, which was nominated for the MLA First Book Prize\, the Alan Bray Prize
 \, and Phi Beta Kappa's Christian Gauss Prize. His second critical book\, 
 a reading of disability theory and aesthetics across the very long America
 n 19th century\, is titled Contingent Figure: Aesthetic Duress from Nathan
 iel Hawthorne to Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick (under contract\, U. Minnesota Pres
 s).\n\nHe's also a published poet who has been a resident at both the Jame
 s Merrill House (Stonington\, CT) and Yaddo (Saratoga Springs\, NY). His m
 ost recent book of poems\, the Apartment of Tragic Appliances\, was publis
 hed in 2013 by Punctum Books. His next book of poetry\, The New York Editi
