This course constitutes an historical and interdisciplinary approach to the problematic of irony through classical and modern literature (with reference to philosophy and intellectual history). Moving beyond irony as a figure of speech and/or a dramatic situation, the course appraises how irony both organizes limits between the human and non-human and structures their (mis)recognition over the Western tradition (Greek, Christian, Renaissance, Modern and twentieth-century writing).
