Morrison on Memory, Imagination, and Place

from Fashioning Critical Theory Hosted by John E. Drabinski

A discussion of a cluster of Toni Morrison's non-fiction pieces concerned with gender, memory, and the imagination. We explore the relation between Morrison's meditations and our previous conversations about place and memory, in particular how transcendence is brought to sites through memory-work and the imagination. As well, the ways in which memory-work and the imagination entwine with landscape, meaning, and the ethics of reading emerge as both conceptually interesting and innovative and as imperatives placed on us by Morrison's deep work on the meaning of literature and literary production. How does that deep work make us different kinds of readers? How does it animate literature and our imaginations when we engage the text?
