2022/23 SS Friday’s present is an invitation to retrace and re-read the founding myth of modernity written by Daniel Defoe in the 18th century as it happens in Michel Tournier’s novel, Friday, and in Foe by J. M. Coetzee: we re-read Robinson Crusoe more than three hundred years after its publication to see us again in its asphyxiated normative planning, and to try to understand how to rewrite it, and to rewrite it, perhaps even without writing, beyond the unaware control of verbal language, manipulating us, drawing us, singing us.
