Call for Sessions

2nd ASN Conference: “Making Connections”

Loughborough University, U.K.

3-5 September 2012

Jesse Cohn is the author of Anarchism and the Crisis of Representation: Hermeneutics, Aesthetics, Politics (Susquehanna University Press, 2006). Along the way, he has had to learn a good deal of French, since some of the most important work in 19th- and 20th-century anarchism has never been translated from its mother tongue. Currently, he is trying to put that to good use by publishing some of his translations of works by writers such as Pierre-Joseph Proudhon and Bernard Lazare.

Cohn teaches interpretive methods, popular culture, fiction, poetry, and literary theory in the Department of English and Modern Languages at Purdue University North Central.
