Reparations and the Human

Join us for a conversation about David L. Eng’s latest book, Reparations and the Human. Eng, Joan Wallach Scott, and Michelle Stephens will discuss reparations and human rights in the context of the Holocaust and the atomic bombings of Japan, and with particular attention to how reparation functions across both political and psychoanalytic theory. In the wake of catastrophe, how does the Transpacific in the Cold War era provide a limit case for the politics of repair and definitions of the human? Who can be recognized as victims, who must be seen as perpetrators, and who deserves repair?
