		<description>
	Angelica Stathopoulos is a philosopher, translator, and writer. They earned their PhD in 2020 from The New School for Social Research in New York. Their dissertation “Passivity: Essays in Ontology and Ethics” placed passivity at the heart of a new understanding of ontology and ethics by drawing on Ancient thought, Continental philosophy, and queer and feminist theory. With a particular focus on the relation between passivity and femininity, Angelica’s work rethinks our understanding of subjectivity, ethics, and politics by way of experiences of laziness, sleep, eroticism, failure, impotence, and sickness.
	Angelica is a postdoctoral fellow at The Institute for Cultural Inquiry Berlin.

		<description>
	From the point of view of a diminutive i, Stories of i develops an alternative understanding of ethics by drawing on experiences of passivity. Centering on rest, illness, and eroticism, it shows that diminutive existence is lived on the side of passivity, patheticism, and femininity, and it formulates an ethics honouring these modalities. As passivity hinges on reduction rather than the expansion of active being, it teaches the subject to be smaller, to take up less space, and to relate differently to the other and our shared world.

As such, passive phenomena transform the I into a diminutive self: an i. In English the i is habitually capitalized, which hones a certain understanding of the self as the master and centre not just of grammatical units, but of all relations. Beyond the self-same and overly productive ego of Western thought, Stories of i elaborates a diminutive subjectivity that instead always-already acknowledges its bonds to the other and the world. This research project develops visceral and engaging accounts of sleeping poorly and its unsuspected moral dimensions, of an impotent ethics modelled on a sick self, and of the ethical possibilities of bottomness.

Angelica is currently translating Luce Irigaray’s magnum opus Speculum de l’autre femme from French to Swedish. It will be published with Thales Publishing House.

In Speculum de l’autre femme, Luce Irigaray inserts a speculum into the history of Western thought and records its (distorted) reflections of the feminine. In her reversed history that begins with Freud and ends with Plato, the feminine stretches out of its secluded, hidden role as the silvering that allows the male philosopher to mirror himself, and begins to reflect back unto herself. Never defined, the feminine itself, for itself, is mirrored in Irigaray’s language, in a poetic discourse that breaks with traditional academic writing in order to intimate new wor(l)ds.
