Abstract

Neither history nor story, neither origins nor the “origin’s chimera” (Michel Foucault), neither memories nor oblivion, neither archives nor deletion, neither formatting nor transforming, neither books nor e-books, neither readers nor e-readers, neither palimpsests nor touchscreens, neither essay nor narrative, neither that which is missing nor that which exceeds, neither what is dressed with words nor what is literally undressed, but something in between – this text: remembering Peter Stallybrass (specially “Worn world” and “Marx’s coat”), words that try to treat people as things and things as people, writing the biography of some readers through the writing of an e-reader biography, and vice versa.
