Respondent - On Agamben and gesture

Teresa Calonje in conversation with Jenny Doussan on screaming as gesture.

As part of SCREAMING (SCREAM SCREAM) O VOID O, Teresa Calonje invited Jenny Doussan, lecturer in Visual Cultures at Goldsmiths. They discussed what was at stake in gesture through the early work of artist La Ribot and the reading of excerpts from three essays in Giorgio Agamben’s Means without End (2000): “Marginal Notes on Commentaries on the Society of the Spectacle”, “Notes on Gesture” and “Notes on Politics”.
