  • Lost in the Post: (Post-)Structuralism Between France and the United States
    (Post-)structuralism between France and the United States 6 Lost in the post: (Post-)structuralism between France and the United States Edward Baring Introduction Today, the term ‘post-structuralism’ designates a stage in the intellectual history of modern France. According to a familiar narrative, post-war French thought is divided up into a number of moments that can conveni- ently structure an American college course. The great success of existen- tialist ideas in the 1940s, propounded by figures like Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir, who emphasized the free and acting subject, was followed by a ‘structuralist’ reaction, when Claude Lévi-Strauss and Roland Barthes foregrounded anonymous structures that transcended and determined the self. Moving on at pace, so the narrative goes, these ideas were challenged by a range of post-structuralists, most prominently Jacques Derrida but also Gilles Deleuze, Luce Irigaray and Julia Kristeva. The ‘post-structuralists’ added a dash of Nietzsche to the staid structuralist mix, which tended to dissolve certainties and unsettle the structures that earlier scholars had described. Despite the attractive simplicity of this narrative, it quickly runs into difficulties. Several figures are hard to place. Are Jacques Lacan and Louis Althusser structuralists or post-structuralists? It is generally assumed that we can distinguish between an early and late Michel Foucault. But in a 1983 interview that is well beyond his putative break with structuralism, Foucault rejected ‘post-structuralist’ as a description of his work.1 Even the archetypal post-structuralist, Jacques Derrida, refused the label.2 To a certain extent, such refusals should be understood as a salutary sus- picion of -isms.

  • J. Hillis Miller
    The FirstThe Sail The film-bookThe First Sail: J. Hillis Miller is based on the doc- umentary film by the same name made in 2010. Together with the film transcript and an interview conducted by Taryn Devereux, the essays in this volume have been gathered from several internation- al events devoted to Miller’s works. With contibutions by Henry Suss- man, Sarah Dillon, Charlie Gere, Nicholas Royle, Éamonn Dunne and Michael O’Rourke, Dragan Kujundžić, Julian Wolfreys and J. Hillis Miller. “Very few American literary scholars of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries have displayed the depth and breadth of critical and theoretical expertise and engagement that J. Hillis Miller has shown. His work bridges generations and does so in ways that reflect the key debates and transitions we have witnessed and we participate in. This book, derived from a fine film by Dragan Kujundžić of the same name, gives us a unique and invaluable glimpse into the life of J. Hillis Miller—our understanding of the man’s work acquires a new depth, immediacy, and intimacy.” – David Palumbo-Liu, Stanford University Dragan Kujundžić is a Professor of Jewish, Germanic and Slavic Studies, and Film and Media Studies at the University of Florida. He is the author of numerous articles in critical theory, decon- struction and literary criticism.

  • 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.

Kouta 1997, 2007 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS In the four and a half years it has taken me to complete this project, I have enjoyed many privileges, some of which I want to acknowledge here. As nothing is conceived in a void – not even the break of Paul de Man – it is of utmost importance to try to recognise the factors that influence one’s decisions and the elements that endow their making. For without them, either in the academia or elsewhere, even the most valiant attempt to get one’s thoughts out into the open will fail.

  • De Man, That Dangerous Supplement
    De Man, That Dangerous Supplement Ziatan Filipovic A dissertation submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY English and Comparative Literature Goldsmiths, University of London London,2009 Copyright © Zlatan Filipovic, 2009. 3 Abstract To ask whether Paul de Man still matters is perhaps to have already answered the question. De Man's work, as 1. Hillis Miller writes in a telling irony, "is a violent allergen that provokes fits of coughing, sneezing, and burning eyes, perhaps even worse symptoms, unless it can be neutralized or expelled." There is something inherently resistant in de Man then that goes beyond his wartime journalism. Dust having settled, one must have good reasons today to whip it up and risk another reactive fit. Yet it is precisely this resistance in de Man that will pivot the movement ofthis thesis, as it sneezes and coughs along the way. Relayed through the allergen of terms like deconstruction, unreadability, rhetoric, it will come to remark a trace of something inappropriable, inhuman in texts, which persistently stalks our attempts to be rid of it. It articulates a crisis in the empire of cognition and a disruption of epistemo-aesthetic ideologies that inform our thinking of the political. The thesis plots a narrative that interrogates the relation between the rhetorical, the inhuman and the political, which in de Man comes to activate a new exigency of reading, constantly overtasking received epistemic regimes that integrate dissention to open a passage for the new ones to emerge. What is consistently traced is the measured emptying out of ontology and psychologism from language and its opening to unmasterable linguistic agencies.
