简介：Deconstruction: Theory and Practicehas been acclaimed as by far the most readable, concise and authoritative guide to this topic. Without oversimplifying or glossing over the challenges, Norris makes deconstruction more accessible to the reader. The volume focuses on the works of Jacques Derrida which caused this seismic shift in critical thought, as well as the work of North American critics Paul de Man, Geoffrey Hartman, J. Hillis Miller and Harold Bloom. In this third, revised edition, Norris builds on his 1991 Afterword with an entirely new Postscript, reflecting upon recent critical debate. The Postscript includes an extensive list of recommended reading, complementing what was already one of the most useful bibliographies available.

简介：This extraordinarily wide-ranging work represents a new departure for contemporary literary theory. Author of Beginnings and the controversial Orientalism , Edward Said demonstrates that modern critical discourse has been impressively strengthened by the writings of Jacques Derrida and Michel Foucault, for example, and by such influences as Marxism, structuralism, linguistics, and psychoanalysis. He argues, however, that the various methods and schools have had a crippling effect through their tendency to force works of literature to meet the requirements of a theory or system, ignoring the complex affiliations binding the texts to the world. The critic must maintain a distance both from critical systems and from the dogmas and orthodoxies of the dominant culture, Said contends. He advocates freedom of consciousness and responsiveness to history, to the exigencies of the text, to political, social, and human values, to the heterogeneity of human experience. These characteristics are brilliantly exemplified in his own analyses of individual authors and works. Combining the principles and practice of criticism, the book offers illuminating investigations of a number of writers--Swift, Conrad, Lukacs, Renan, and many others--and of concepts such as repetition, originality, worldliness, and the roles of audiences, authors, and speakers. It asks daring questions, investigates problems of urgent significance, and gives a subtle yet powerful new meaning to the enterprise of criticism in modern society.

简介： 他者哲學：回歸列維納斯 十八世紀德國哲學大儒康德主張： 「對待人類，無論是對自己或他人，皆應視其為目標而絕非一種手段」， 但列維納斯揚棄了這種強調主體的道德哲學，他認為道德不應從自我開始，而應從他者而來， 道德始於為他人存在，然後才是為自己存在。 在現代社會中，面對不同性別、不同性傾向、不同宗教信仰、不同族裔、不同物種、 不同階級、不同身分認同的「他者」，列維納斯式回歸倫理的他者哲學，可以作為我們 認識自己與善待他人的良策。 如何看待他人，是在現代社會確立自己最重要的哲學態度 對列維納斯而言，西方哲學從巴曼尼德斯到海德格都是一種將他者簡約化成和「自我」(the Self)相同觀點的過程。在此傳統中「他者」(the Other)被吸吮、咀嚼、吞沒及消化成「自我」維持生存整體的一種能量來源，列維納斯開展了以他者為優先的哲學，提出與無法理解的他者建立一種責任倫理學的關係。在二十一世紀的初期，面對著越來越多不同樣貌的異於己者，我們需要什麼樣的新哲學？強調「回歸倫理」的列維納斯，或許正是一個有力的參照。 本書蒐羅台灣與大陸兩地學者現階段對列維納斯的研究成果，共十篇論文，是中文學術界極為難得的研究資料，是一本由不同研究者合撰，從倫理學、生命哲學、東方哲學、動物權與女性主義等不同面向探討列維納斯思想的專書。本書並收入兩篇對於國外學者的訪談，使讀者對列維納斯的哲學有更深一層的體會。 列維納斯(Emmanuel L?vinas，1906年12月30日－1995年12月25日) 法國哲學家，出生於今日的立陶宛共和國，在1928年於弗萊堡大學跟隨胡塞爾研習現象學。他對海德格的《存在與時間》有深入的研究，其著作可以說是對海德格的一種批判與延續。列維納斯認為，胡塞爾的現象學以及海德格的存有哲學的盲點在於其整體的思想結構都關注在「存在者」(existent)通往「存在」(existence)的存有論途徑上，他則是逆向思考，思索「存在」如何到「存在者」，並且將優先性讓給了「他者」。 其重要作品包括：《整體與無限》(Totality and Infinity)、《從存在到存在者》(Existence and Existents)、《別於存有或超越本質》(Otherwise than Being or Beyond Essence)、《時間與他者》(Time and the Other)。他的理論並引起德希達(Jacques Derrida)、布朗修(Maurice Blanchot)、李歐塔(Jean-Fran?ois Lyotard)、帕波札克(Adriaan Peperzak)以及伊希嘉黑(Luce Irigaray)的熱烈回應與反響。 < TOP>

简介：Summary: Publisher Summary 1 Shakespeare in Theory: The Postmodern Academy and the Early Modern Theateroffers a provocative, highly original premise: that present-day literary criticism and theory have been shaped by the same institutional forces that shaped the theater of Shakespeare's day. Stephen Bretzius argues that Shakespeare's poetry and drama have been central to the development of postwar literary and cultural criticism, not just because his works validate these various critical approaches, but because the approaches variously replay his works, from the theater of the Renaissance to the contemporary American university. Where early modern theater once usurped the university, the postmodern university now refashions the theater, recasting in a theoretical register the same disappearing subjects, ideological contradictions, and imperialist illusions that it uncovers in Shakespeare. Individual chapters provide provocative interpretations of various postwar critical schools and Shakespearean dramas, including the New Historicism and Hamlet, feminism and The Taming of the Shrew, pragmatism and Henry V. Other approaches, including psychoanalysis, multiculturalism, feminism, deconstruction, and nuclear criticism are brought to bear on Love's Labor Lost, Julius Caesar, and Othello.A final chapter on Shakespeare and the Beatles provides a lively conclusion to an imaginative and thought-provoking volume. "A wonderful book, both witty and incisive in its analysis of cold war literary theory. Bretzius proves the astounding thesis that Shakespearean plot provides the archetypes of theoretical desire for the postwar academy. Paul de Man, Jacques Derrida, Stephen Greenblatt, Ren茅 Girard, Joel Fineman, pragmatists and feminists alike, appear among the cast of characters in the postmodern play-within-a-play called the 'University.' Bretzius's strong readings of Shakespeare and literary theory will instruct Renaissance and theory scholars alike and amuse a wide audience of readers." --Tobin Siebers, University of Michigan Stephen Bretzius is Lecturer, Chaffey College.   Publisher Summary 2 Witty and engaging essays on the links between contemporary literary theory and Shakespearean theater

简介：The north African roots of Jacques Derrida--he was born in Algeria, and lived there until he was nearly twenty--have yet to receive due consideration. Derrida, Africa, and the Middle East investigates the iconic theorist's claim to "Black, Arab, and Jewish" identity, demonstrating for the first time his significance for Africa and the Middle East while remaining mindful of the conflict between these Jewish and Arab heritages. Even as it criticizes Derrida's analyses of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, it shows why Derrida's idiosyncratic politics should not deter his critics. Further, this study reveals similarities between deconstruction and ancient Egypto-African ways of thinking about language, and posits a new critical lineage--one with origins outside the bounds of Greco-Roman thought.

简介："Otherwise than being or beyond essence is a sequel to Levinas's totality and infinity. An immensely challenging and sophisticated work, it is generally considered Levinas's most important contribution to the contemporary debate surrounding the closure of metaphysical discourse, much commented upon by Jacques Derrida. The work contains a fundamentally original theory of the ethical relationship and describes the face-to-face relationship, sensibility, responsibility and speech. The process of therevelation of Being as laid out by modern phenomenologicalontology is severely criticized, as the author claims thatthe ultimate account of these phenomena is not in ontology,the exposition of the meaning of Being, but in a paradoxical discourse, in a skeptical mode, of what is beyond Being."--BOOK JACKET.

简介：Responding to questions put to him at a Roundtable held atVillanova University in 1994, Jacques Derrida leads the reader through an illuminating discussion of the central themes of deconstruction. Speaking in English and extemporaneously, Derrida takes up with clarity and eloquence such topics as the task of philosophy, the Greeks, justice, responsibility, the gift, community, the distinction between the messianic and the concrete messianisms, and his interpretation of James Joyce. Derrida convincingly refutes the charges of relativism and nihilism that are often leveled at deconstruction by its critics, and sets forth the profoundly affirmative ethico-political thrust of this work. The Roundtable is annotated by John D. Caputo, the David R. Cook Professor of Philosophy at Villanova University, who has supplied cross-references to Derrida'swritings, where the reader may find further discussion on these topics. Professor Caputo has also supplied a commentary which elaborates the principal issues raised in the Roundtable.

简介：Summary: Publisher Summary 1 Responding to questions put to him at a Roundtable held at Villanova University in 1994, Jacques Derrida leads the reader through an illuminating discussion of the central themes of deconstruction. Speaking in English and extemporaneously, Derrida takes up with unusual clarity and great eloquence such topics as the task of philosophy, the Greeks, justice, responsibility, the gift, the community, the distinction between the messianic and the concrete messianisms, and his interpretation of James Joyce. Derrida convincingly refutes the charges of relativism and nihilism that are often leveled at deconstruction by its critics and sets forth the profoundly affirmative and ethico-political thrust of his work. The Roundtableis marked by the unusual clarity of Derrida's presentation and by the deep respect for the great works of the philosophical and literary tradition with which he characterizes his philosophical work. The Roundtable is annotated by John D. Caputo, the David R. Cook Professor of Philosophy at Villanova University, who has supplied cross references to Derrida's writings where the reader may find further discussion on these topics. Professor Caputo has also supplied a commentary which elaborates the principal issues raised in the Roundtable. In all, this volume represents one of the most lucid, compact and reliable introductions to Derrida and deconstruction available in any language. An ideal volume for students approaching Derrida for the first time, Deconstruction in a Nutshell will prove instructive and illuminating as well for those already familiar with Derrida's work.

简介：Jacques Derrida's prolific output has been the delight (and sometimes the despair) of philosophers and literary theorists for over twenty years. His influence on the way we read theoretical texts continues to be profound. No serious contemporary thinker can fail to respond to 'deconstruction', even if many fail to come to terms with it, and there have been a number of monographs devoted to his work, not least by the contributors to this volume. Each author combines an intimate knowledge of Derrida's texts with an 'independent' philosophical stance. Each was asked -- in the most positive sense -- to take just such a critical approach. And the variety of response to this request -- many contributors problematize the very idea of a critical approach -- testifies to the traumatic effect Derrida has had on traditional philosophical certainties. This volume includes substantive papers by Jean-Luc Nancy, Michel Haar, John Llewelyn, Geoffrey Bennington, John Sallis, Robert Bernasconi, Christopher Norris, Irene Harvey, Manfred Frank, Richard Rorty and by Jacques Derrida himself -- introduced by David Wood. Its remit is neither to praise nor to bury Derrida, but to draw out and confirm the openings he gives to philosophy, and whatever thinking may succeed it. Book jacket.

简介：This text offers an historical sketch of the development of postmodern social theory, major criticisms of it, and recent efforts to move beyond it. It focuses on the work of such leading postmodernists as Michael Foucault, Jean Baudrillard, Jacques Derrida, Jean-Francois Lyotard, and on contemporary alternatives/reactions/interventions by such theorists as Anthony Giddens and Ulrich Beck. American contributions by Daniel Bell and Frederic Jameson and the relationship between feminist and multiculturalist theory from a sociological perspective receives treatment. Ritzer discusses the implications postmodern social theory has for contemporary sociological theory and shows how it can be used to analyze contemporary consumer society.

简介：This book presents Emily Dickinson as one of America's great thinkers and argues that she has even more to say to the twenty-first century than she did to the nineteenth. Jed Deppman weaves together many strands in Dickinson's intellectual culture -- philosophy, lexicography, religion, experimental science, the female Bildungsroman-- and shows how she developed a lyricized, conversational hermeneutics uniquely suited to rethinking the authoritative discourses of her time. Through Deppman's original analysis, readers come to see how Dickinson's mind and poetry were informed by two strong but opposing philosophical vocabularies: on the one hand, the Lockean materialism and Scottish Common Sense that dominated her schoolbooks in logic and mental philosophy -- Reid, Hedge, Watts, Stewart, Brown, and Upham -- and on the other, the neo-Kantian modes of apprehending the supersensible that circulated throughout German idealism and Transcendentalism. Blending close readings with philosophical and historical approaches, Deppman affirms Dickinson's place in the history of ideas and brings her to the center of postmodern conversations initiated by Jean- Fran?ois Lyotard, Jean-Luc Nancy, Jacques Derrida, Richard Rorty, and Gianni Vattimo. Trying her out in various postmodern roles -- the Nietzschean accomplished nihilist, the Nancian finite thinker, the Vattimian weak thinker, and the Rortian liberal ironist -- Deppman adds to the traditional expressive functions of her poetry a valuable, timely, and interpretable layer of philosophical inquiry. Dickinson, it turns out, is an ideal companion for anybody trying to think in the contemporary conditions that Vattimo characterizes as the weakened experience of truth.

简介：Summary: Publisher Summary 1 Widely published contemporary theorist Norris (philosophy, Cardiff U. in Wales) explores the cross-section of deconstruction (mainly the thought of Jacques Derrida), philosophy of language, and literary theory, arguing that each camp may benefit from a better knowledge of the others. Topics include: linguistics as a guide to metaphysics, examinations of science in literary theory, the "possible-worlds" logic as it relates to narrative theory, and some possible reasons for Wittgenstein's aversion to Shakespeare.

简介：This volume offers the long-awaited overview of the work of the French philosopher and discourse analyst Michel Pecheux, who was the leading figure in French discourse analysis until his death in 1983. The volume presents the first English publication of the work of Pecheux and his coworkers on automatic discourse analysis. Outside France,French discourse analysis is almost exclusively known as the form of philosophical discourse presented by such authors as Michel Foucault and Jacques Derrida. The contemporary empirical forms of French discourse analysis have not reached a wider public to the degree they deserve. Through its combination of original texts, annotations, and several introductory texts, this volume facilitates an evaluation of both results and weaknesses of French discourse analysis in general and of the work ofMichel Pecheux and his coworkers in particular.

简介：This book is the first book-length deconstructive study of the political philosophy of Jurgen Habermas. Inspired by the work of Jacques Derrida, the book applies deconstruction to key issues in Habermas's work: rational discourse and rational consensus, constitutional democracy, tolerance and civil disobedience. The war in Iraq brought Habermas and Derrida together in defense of international law and in favor of a bigger role for a united Europe in international affairs. Yet, despite the rapprochement between Habermas and Derrida in the years prior to Derrida's death, important differences remain between Habermas's critical theory and Derrida's deconstruction. These differences reflect differences between post-structuralism and critical theory and between postmodernists and the defenders of modernity.

简介：This book proposes an exploration of the many meanings attached to the notion of futurity (what is to come) in the work of Jacques Derrida, Catherine Malabou and Jean-Lucy Nancy. In order to make sense of these many meanings,this book focuses on the act of translation. It concentrates not on the future of translation, but on its deployment in time. Overall, it provides an original introduction to the work of two contemporary French thinkers (Malabou and Nancy), an unusual insight into the later work of Derrida, and makes a creative contribution to the way deconstruction deals with translation and how the issue of the future can be addressed without making any projections or predictions.
