Death by Document: Tracing the Agency of a Text

Boris H. J. M. Brummans

Université de Montréal, Canada

This nonanthropological poetry was brought to life by tracing the agency of my father's euthanasia declaration through a reconstruction of its confessions. I follow the poetry with reflections on the role of this textual agent in the unfolding of my father's last days.

Key Words: nonanthropological poetry • textual agency • writing and reading experience • deconstruction • spectrality
