Professional Accomplishments
Jacques Khalip is the author of Anonymous Life: Romanticism and Dispossession (Stanford University Press, 2009), which examines the concept of Romantic anonymity as a way of being-in-the-world that resists the Enlightenment emphasis on transparency, self-disclosure, and emotional autonomy. He has published essays in Arizona Quarterly, Criticism, differences, ELH, Raritan, and Forum Italicum, and has also published numerous poetry reviews in Antipodes, The Boston Review, Jacket, and Verse. He is currently at work on three projects: a co-edited collection (with Robert Mitchell) entitled Releasing the Image: From Kant to New Media (under contract at Stanford University Press); a study on Romantic aesthetics and disaster; and a monograph on queer passivity.
