I can't go on. I'll go on.\" These are some of the most quoted lines written by Samuel Beckett, which speak to the impulse of persevering in times of crisis and impossibility. Yet few readers of Beckett agree about what this paradoxical formula could mean, let alone what mode of engagement it would seem to indicate, be it committed, autonomous, or something else entirely. This volume of essays explores what that mode of engagement could be, all the while elucidating the ethical and political stakes of the \"ongoing\" in both Beckett's life and work. Across multiple disciplines in the humanities, the authors delve into questions of political subjectivity and representation, the ethics of powerlessness and refusal, the aesthetics of syncopation and destitution, multimedia experiments between genre, as well as Beckett's wider impact on transnational itineraries of modernism and philosophy up to the contemporary.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichael Krimper\u003c\/b\u003e teaches in the French and English departments at New York University, USA, where he received his PhD in Comparative Literature.
