This seminar offers a close reading of Collected Writings of Charles H. Long: Ellipsis (2018), supplemented by essays from Significations: Signs. Symbols, and Image in the Interoperation of Religion (1986). Until Ellipsis, students had access to Long’s phenomenological hermeneutics primarily by the essays comprising Significations. Ellipsis is an archival treasury for understanding and appreciating Long’s contributions to African, African American, and African Diaspora religious studies. [3]
