A Certain Gesture: Evnine’s Batman Meme Project and Its Parerga!
Join us to celebrate this book by Simon Evnine, Professor of Philosophy at the University of Miami: A Certain Gesture: Evnine’s Batman Meme Project and its Parerga!.
“Evnine’s exploration is personal, but like the best personal explorations, it illuminates human psychology – our psychology.” - Iskra Fileva, Colorado University)
A Certain Gesture: Evnine’s Batman Meme Project and Its Parerga! takes the form of commentaries on memes made with the image of Batman slapping Robin. It is a genre-defying book that mixes discussions of philosophy, psychoanalysis, Judaism, language, and representation with self-writing, producing a distinctive type of autotheory. The book is cerebral, playful, social, and intensely personal. It contains philosophy, including original philosophical research, but also explores new ways of doing and thinking about philosophy.
Simon Evnine is a Professor of Philosophy and Director of Graduate Studies at the University of Miami. Besides working on Batman memes, he is interested in metaphysics, artifacts, social ontology, and the philosophy of language.
