Abstract
Recent Hispanic Studies scholarship and criticism has shown growing interest in problems inherent to modern ways of thinking about ethics, politics, and the relationship between these two conceptual spheres. With the publication of her edited volume The Ethics of Latin American Literary Criticism: Reading Otherwise (Palgrave, 2007) and her first monograph, The Wandering Signifier: Rhetoric of Jewishness in the Latin American Imaginary (Duke University Press, 2008), Erin Graff Zivin established her reputation as a leading critical voice on these concerns. With her latest monograph, Figurative Inquisitions: Conversion, Torture, and Truth in the Luso-Hispanic Atlantic, Graff Zivin helps to open up what may be taking shape as a new conceptual vocabulary for thinking about the singular and collective forms of relationality that we call ethics and politics, and thus also for the relation between the singular and the universal as such.
