Notes

1 I borrow these terms from Yépez, ‘Against Leukotropic Poetics.’

2 Gasché, ‘Europe and the Stranger’, 305.

3 Plato, Sophist, trans. White, 260c1. I cite White’s translation throughout. Wherever I worried that my readings were so reliant on Plato’s wording that they might be affected by the translation, I have consulted the Greek text to the extent possible, as well as other available translations, especially Benardete’s literal translation in The Being of the Beautiful, and the passages translated in Crivelli, Plato’s Account of Falsehood. In a passage quoted below, I change White’s “Visitor” to “Stranger” to accord with Gasché’s commentary.

4 Brown, ‘Negation and Not-Being’, 277.
