Maps and Mirrors
Philosophy, Literature and Culture
Maps and Mirrors explores the links and gaps between the aesthetic and the political at the intersection of philosophy and literature. Testing the major voices of aesthetic and literary theory, it raises important questions about the implicit political contexts and commitments of thinkers from Kant to de Man. Taken together the essays provide a tour of the complexities and richness of contemporary modes of critique.
The Frame and the Mirror
Philosophy, Literature and Culture
If the postmodern is a collage—as some critics have suggested—or if collage is itself a kernel of the postmodern, what does this mean for our way of understanding the world? The Frame and the Mirror uses this question to probe the distinctive question of the postmodern situation and the philosophical problem of representation.
Bodies of Resistance
Philosophy, Literature and Culture
This startling volume explores the traumas and possibilities of embodiment as it is lived in a political world. Unveiling the influence of phenomenology, particularly that of Maurice Merleau-Ponty, on contemporary thought. Bodies of Resistance cuts across the disciplines of philosophy, political theory, literature, and cultural studies to explore anew how we are at once produced by yet resistant to cultural norms.
Future Crossings
Philosophy, Literature and Culture
Future Crossings uses a broad spectrum of philosophers and writers—Acker, Adorno, Blanchot, Deleuze, Derrida, Joyce, Levinas, Nancy, Wordsworth, and many others—to consider whether the future of literary studies depends on an understanding of aesthetics both as an outcome of its cultural context and the questioning of that very context.
