Research Abstract |
I would call myself a specialist in 'literary theory'--with the stress on the word (and the question of the) 'literary'--from Plato to the present. Such a specialization necessarily entails an interest in the question of reading, of language, and of the rhetorical dimension of language--which in turn amounts to an interest in, and an unhealthy fascination with, the many and myriad ruses and evasions by means of which this question is resisted and avoided. Texts that I always go back to include Hegel (and his progeny in the 'Marxist tradition'), Nietzsche (and his progeny in Heidegger and Derrida), Blanchot, de Man, as well as romantic lyric poetry (Holderlin, Wordsworth, Keats) and select German, French, and American narratives. | |
