Author:

Details: cm.14x21,5, pp.308, paperback.

Abstract: Academic literary criticism continues to be dominated by 'theory' and the struggle between deconstructionist and humanist approaches to the business of reading. Jonathan Culler's On Deconstruction is a typically patient, thoughtful, illuminating exposition of the ideas of Jacques Derrida and their application to literary studies."-David Lodge, Commonwealth"Culler is lucid and thorough, can move into and out of other people's arguments without losing the sense of his own voice and argument, and can manage to seem equally at home with Freudianism, feminism, and traditional literary criticism."-Times Literary Supplement"As a practicing critic Culler has always been a deconstructor, and he approaches this topic with special immediacy and force. In On Deconstruction he offers generous summaries of numerous representative articles and a fine annotated bibliography. . . . His magisterial way of tracing particular topics and techniques through our diaspora of critical texts, and his provocative analyses, cannot fail to focus any critic's thinking about deconstruction."-Modern Language Quarterly"Gifted with grace and clarity, Culler provides us with a stimulating survey of contemporary literary criticism."-Antioch ReviewWith an emphasis on readers and reading, Jonathan Culler considered deconstruction in terms of the questions raised by psychoanalytic, feminist, and reader-response criticism. On Deconstruction is both an authoritative synthesis of Derrida's thought and an analysis of the often-problematic relation between his philosophical writings and the work of literary critics. Culler's book is an indispensable guide for anyone interested in understanding modern critical thought. This edition marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of the first publication of this landmark work and includes a new preface by the author that surveys deconstruction's history since the 1980s and assesses its place within cultural theory today.

#140517 Filosofia
A cura di Marco Vanzulli. Milano, Mimesis Ed. 2003, cm.14x21, pp.105, brossura con cop.fig.a col. Collana Althusseriana. Questo scritto del 1967 si rivela fondamentale per comprendere la genesi della nozione althusseriana di ideologia. Althusser smonta il meccanismo della proiezione posto da Feuerbach alla base del fenomeno religioso, vedendo nel carattere speciale del rapporto teogonico di soggetto-oggetto una potente chiarificazione della struttura dell'ideologico. Altra la via indicata, in polemica con l'ermenuetica e sulla scorta di Freud, da Althusser. Anche Lévi-Strauss resta preso nelle reti dell'ideologico, perché l'isomorfismo delle strutture dell'antropologia strutturale (i miti, i rapporti di parentela) ripetendo semplicemente i livelli della realtà sociale, nega la loro differenza.
