Fehler lesen. Korrektur als Textproduktion
Please feel invited to Fehler lesen – a reading-performance and talk with Tabea Nixdorff and Monique Ulrich at diffract – centre for theoretical periphery on Sat, January 25, 2020 at 7.30 PM.
Tabea Nixdorff will be reading from her essay “Fehler lesen. Korrektur als Textproduktion,” followed by the reading-performance “Just as I meant shimmer literally, I mean grammar literally,” in which the textual stuttering of corrections and errata evolve as a soundscape.
