Martin-Heidegger-Routledge-Critical-Thinkers-Timothy-Clark.Pdf 1111 2 MARTIN HEIDEGGER 3 4 5111 6 7 8 9 ‘Timothy Clark’s Martin Heidegger is an intelligent, highly accessible 10111 introduction to the German philosopher’s complex intellectual trajec- 11 tory. In its focus on Heidegger’s engagement with art and language, 2 Clark’s book will be of particular interest to students of aesthetics, 3111 literature, and theory.’ 4 Michael Eskin, Columbia University 5 6 ‘Heidegger was a uniquely gifted practitioner of the difficult art of 7 reading. But his achievements have been overlooked or drastically 8 misunderstood by mainstream literary theorists and critics. Timothy 9 Clark’s accessible, neat and reliable introduction goes a long way 20111 towards setting the record straight.’ 1 Jonathan Ree, Middlesex University 2 3 Many critics consider Martin Heidegger the most influential, elusive 4 and controversial figure in modern poetics and criticism. However, 5 few students of literature have been directed to his writings on art and 6 poetry. This volume offers such students a bridge to this crucial work. 7 Timothy Clark immerses readers in a new way of thinking, 8 approaching Heideggerian ideas on the limits of ‘theory’ and of Western 9 thought, his history of being, the origin and death of art, language, liter- 30111 ature and poetics. He also covers the controversy of Heidegger’s Nazi 1 involvement. 2 Accessible and engaging throughout, this book will enable readers 3 to take new critical approaches not only to literary texts, but also to 4 the enduring traditions of Western thought. 5 6 Timothy Clark is a specialist in Romantic and post-Romantic poetics, 7 based at Durham University. He is co-editor of the Oxford Literary Review 8 and author of Derrida, Heidegger, Blanchot: Sources of Derrida’s Notion and 3911 Practice of Literature (1992) and The Theory of Inspiration (2000).

The Routledge 20111 Critical Thinkers series provides the books you can turn to first when a 1 new name or concept appears in your studies. 2 Each book will equip you to approach a key thinker’s original texts 3 by explaining her or his key ideas, putting them into context and, 4 perhaps most importantly, showing you why this thinker is considered 5 to be significant. The emphasis is on concise, clearly written guides 6 which do not presuppose a specialist knowledge. Although the focus 7 is on particular figures, the series stresses that no critical thinker ever 8 existed in a vacuum but, instead, emerged from a broader intellectual, 9 cultural and social history. Finally, these books will act as a bridge 30111 between you and the thinker’s original texts: not replacing them but 1 rather complementing what she or he wrote. 2 These books are necessary for a number of reasons. In his 1997 3 autobiography, Not Entitled, the literary critic Frank Kermode wrote 4 of a time in the 1960s: 5 6 On beautiful summer lawns, young people lay together all night, recovering 7 from their daytime exertions and listening to a troupe of Balinese musicians. 8 Under their blankets or their sleeping bags, they would chat drowsily about 3911 the gurus of the time. ...What they repeated was largely hearsay; hence my x SERIES EDITOR’S PREFACE lunchtime suggestion, quite impromptu, for a series of short, very cheap books offering authoritative but intelligible introductions to such figures. There is still a need for ‘authoritative and intelligible introductions’. But this series reflects a different world from the 1960s. New thinkers have emerged and the reputations of others have risen and fallen, as new research has developed. New methodologies and challenging ideas have spread through the arts and humanities. The study of literature is no longer – if it ever was – simply the study and evaluation of poems, novels and plays. It is also the study of the ideas, issues, and difficulties which arise in any literary text and in its interpretation. Other arts and humanities subjects have changed in analogous ways. With these changes, new problems have emerged. The ideas and issues behind these radical changes in the humanities are often presented without reference to wider contexts or as theories which you can simply ‘add on’ to the texts you read. Certainly, there’s nothing wrong with picking out selected ideas or using what comes to hand – indeed, some thinkers have argued that this is, in fact, all we can do. However, it is sometimes forgotten that each new idea comes from the pattern and development of somebody’s thought and it is important to study the range and context of their ideas. Against theories ‘floating in space’, the Routledge Critical Thinkers series places key thinkers and their ideas firmly back in their contexts. More than this, these books reflect the need to go back to the thinker’s own texts and ideas. Every interpretation of an idea, even the most seemingly innocent one, offers its own ‘spin’, implicitly or explicitly. To read only books on a thinker, rather than texts by that thinker, is to deny yourself a chance of making up your own mind. Sometimes what makes a significant figure’s work hard to approach is not so much its style or content as the feeling of not knowing where to start. The purpose of these books is to give you a ‘way in’ by offer- ing an accessible overview of a these thinkers’ ideas and works and by guiding your further reading, starting with each thinker’s own texts. To use a metaphor from the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951), these books are ladders, to be thrown away after you have climbed to the next level. Not only, then, do they equip you to approach new ideas, but also they empower you, by leading you back to a theo- rist’s own texts and encouraging you to develop your own informed opinions. 1111 Finally, these books are necessary because, just as intellectual needs 2 have changed, the education systems around the world – the contexts 3 in which introductory books are usually read – have changed radically, 4 too. What was suitable for the minority higher education system of 5111 the 1960s is not suitable for the larger, wider, more diverse, high tech- 6 nology education systems of the twenty-first century.

  • Supplement, 8 Oct
    SCE REPORTS Richard A. Barney University of Virginia A SELECTED BIBLIOGRAPHY OF DECONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM What Ihab Hassan has said of criticism in gen- eral seems also true of deconstruction: there are "paracritics, metacritics, cryptocritics, hypocrit- ics, uncanny critics," and countless others who have contributed to the corpus of this new criti- cism (SCER 6, p. 74). Since 1967, when Jacques Derrida first published De la gramatologie, the number of scholars using "deconstruc tive" warrants , with their own variations, has grown at a phenom- enal rate. With this state of affairs in mind, I have chosen to focus this bibliography on eight literary critics who have made important contribu- tions to an American "version" of deconstruction: Roland Barthes, Paul de Man, Jacques Derrida, Eugenio Dona to, Barbara Johnson, J. Hillis Miller, Joseph N. Riddel, and William V. Spanos. Their work is also particularly relevant to the 1980 MLA session of the Society for Critical Exchange. In addition, I have included a limited selection of reviews, articles, and books by scholars who have commented on, critiqued, or challenged their work. Copyright @ 1980 Each of these critics, except perhaps Jacques by Derrida and Barbara Johnson, has shifted from ad- The Society for Critical Exchange, Inc. vocating the tradition of "presence" to endorse and Richard A.

  • Saint-Je Derrida
    Saint-Je Derrida Laurent Milesi Question: * W h a t animal would you be if you could be an animal?' Answer: 'You already are an animal'.1 In the interview with Derek Attridge on 'This Strange Institution Called Literature' Derrida muses over the narcissistic' moment of his adolescent desire to write and seek a place from which the history of the frontier between philosophy and literature could be thought anew. Autobiography is suggested as the 'least adequate' term for the attempt to remember this obscure yet compulsive desire or 'dream of keeping a trace of all the voices which were traversing me - or were almost doing so, 'the unique event whose trace one would like to keep alive', and his ongoing obsession 'to save in uninterrupted inscription, in the form of a memory, what happens - or fails to happen, Confessing to a penchant for a certain practice of fiction, 'the intrusion of an effective simulacrum or of disorder into philosophical writing' (rather than reading novels or the telling and invention of stories), Derrida then points out that this 'irrepressible need [... ] would refuse to show itself so long as it has not cleared a space or organized a dwelling-place suited to the animal which is still curled up in its hole half asleep.'2 It is such a configuration of the trace, simulation and autobiography that I would like to investigate and extend in relation to the Derridean reproblematization of the animal. Rather than conjuring up the procession of those real or Active beasts that have transited through Derrida's texts - a textual

Diane Elam, Cardiff University. 1 ‘Readers couldn’t ask for a more authoritative and knowledgeable guide. Although there 2 is no playing down of the immensity of the implications of Derrida’s work, Royle’s direct and often funny mode of address will make it less threatening than it can often 3 appear to beginners’. Derek Attridge, University of York. 4 In this entertaining and provocative introduction, Royle offers lucid explanations of var- 5 ious key ideas, including deconstruction, differance and the democracy to come. He also 6 gives attention, however, to a range of perhaps less obvious topics, such as earthquakes, 7 animals and animality, ghosts, monstrosity, the poematic, drugs, gifts, secrets, war and 8 mourning. Derrida is seen as an extraordinarily inventive thinker, as well as a brilliantly 9 imaginative and often very funny writer. Other critical introductions tend to highlight the specifically philosophical nature and genealogy of his work. Royle’s book proceeds 30111 in a new and different way, in particular by focusing on the crucial but strange place of 1 literature in Derrida’s writings. He thus provides an appreciation and understanding 2 based on detailed reference to Derrida’s texts, interwoven with close readings of liter- 3 ary works. In doing so, he explores Derrida’s consistent view that deconstruction is a 4 ‘coming-to-terms with literature’.

  • The Politics of Community in Contemporary British Fiction Peter Matthew Kieran ELY a Thesis Submitted to Kingston University In
    1 The Politics of Community in Contemporary British Fiction Peter Matthew Kieran ELY A thesis submitted to Kingston University in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of Doctor of Philosophy February 2019 2 Acknowledgements So many people have helped to make this thesis happen. My supervisor Sara Upstone has been a most constant, generous and challenging interlocutor. Also, I thank Tina Chanter and Peter Hallward for their help on some chapters, as well as the English and Philosophy departments at Kingston University, the students and staff of which have been a continual source of inspiration. Particular thanks are warranted for Alva Gotby, Chris Law, Iain Campbell, Isabell Dahms, Robert Kiely, Katie McCain and Michael Washington who have offered many useful insights for my project. The warmest thanks are due to my family who have been so generous in their support for this project. Abstract This thesis draws on the work of philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy to propose ‘community’ as a conceptual and hermeneutical figure that opens up productive possibilities in the study of contemporary British literature. Community is advanced as a form of political ontology, which moves beyond contingent appearance toward radical possibilities for transformation in the current political landscape. Particular attention is paid to the way in which community is ‘put to work’ as part of the operation of the capitalist state, where community emerges as a central site of political contestation. Community is demonstrated as offering ways of rethinking the figure of ‘politics’ itself, opening avenues for developing its meaning through emergent theories of ‘gender’, the ‘queer’ and ‘trans’.
