'Jam'
In his two most recent books, J. Hillis Miller spends a lot of time talking about jam which is a pervasive topic in Freud’s essays on telepathy. Rather than treating the jam question as a trivial moment in Miller’s ingenious readings of Freud’s essays and of Derrida’s “Telepathy”, we wish to explore the central importance of jam to the ethico-politics of reading.
Éamonn Dunne & Michael O'Rourke
Éamonn Dunne recently completed a PhD thesis at University College Dublin. His first book, 'Possibilities of Reading: J. Hillis Miller' (Continuum, 2010), is a sustained investigation of twentieth-century literary criticism and reading strategies alongside close readings of Miller’s works. Michael O’Rourke is co-founder and editor of Ashgate’s 'Queer Interventions' series.
