above all, throughout all these years, Daniel taught us that reading is not about applying a model constructed elsewhere—nor is it about adopting a rigid paradigm devised in some seemingly prestigious corner of the universal republic of letters—but rather about inhabiting a text from a standpoint that seeks to be neither peripheral nor marginal, for it understands that there are no centers or peripheries; or, in any case, that if such centers and peripheries were to exist, we ought to dispense with them and read from a different place. to read from a place of difference and experience. from a place of happiness and desire—never from a place of deprivation or lack. the twentieth century, therefore—just as Daniel conceived of it from his very first courses—allows us to dispense with national paradigms, and with canonical and linguistic universes that are hermetically sealed within themselves.
