4. Drown before Reading: Liquidating Books in The TempestWhat docs it mean that Prospero says he will drown his books? Why docs he say “drown" rather Drown before Reading Liquidating Books in The Tempest than burn them? This question arises not only because “drown" is usnual and even enigmatic but because Caliban has told Stefano and Trlnculo “burn but his books" and, along with driving a nail through Prospero's head, they be the sovereign rulers of the island.

Why docs he say “drown" rather Drown before Reading Liquidating Books in The Tempesting, skipping over the oddity of Prospero’s destruction by drowning and displaced by a more general, characterological question about Prospero: why does he abjure his rough magic?1Our formulation of drowning books as a crux will orient our reading of The Tempest: the island is more of an archive abo Drown before Reading Liquidating Books in The Tempestut to come to an end that it is a utopian space, and archive management involves what Michel Foucault calls biopower, about the management of life andDrown before Reading Liquidating Books in The Tempest

In short, questions about life are raised as questions of what Derrida calls sur-vivancc. not so much survival or living on or even as living death but as living on in a way that cannot be thought in terms of life and death. Sur-vivance is a resistance to read Drown before Reading Liquidating Books in The Tempesting, as we saw earlier. The Tempest radicalizes unreadabiliry by linking snr-vivance to a past that never becomes fully textual, that can only becomeDrown before Reading Liquidating Books in The Tempest

Why docs he say “drown" rather Drown before Reading Liquidating Books in The Tempest’s excessive economy of archival repetition and re-enactment: why doesn't Prospero not recover his3dukedom immediately? Why docs he abjure his kingdom? Why does he want to leave the island? At the risk of being somewhat dogmatic, we think these arc the wrong questions.
