Fordham University Press Derrida From Now On
Book SynopsisWritten in the wake of Jacques Derrida's death in 2004, this title attempts both to do justice to the memory of Derrida and to demonstrate the significance of his work for contemporary philosophy and literary theory. It provides an analysis of Derrida's attachment to the French language, to Europe, and to European secular thought.Trade Review"Naas is a true heir of Derrida." -- -Dawne McCance University of Manitoba "A genuine homage to Derrida." -- -Leonard Lawlor University of Memphis Michael Naas's Derrida From Now On has the depth and seriousness that experienced readers of Derrida will demand. Yet the style of the book is so clear and direct, so engaging, that those who are just beginning to read Derrida will also be eminently rewarded by it. A remarkable achievement! -- -David Farrell Krell DePaul University / Universitat Freiburg

Fordham University Press Athens Still Remains
Book SynopsisAthens, Still Remains is an extended commentary on a series of photographs of contemporary Athens by the French photographer Jean-Franois Bonhomme. But in Derrida's hands commentary always has a way of unfolding or, better, developing in several unexpected and mutually illuminating directions.Trade Review"Taking his point of departure from Bonhomme's wonderful photographs of Athens'photographs that bear the traces of the history of this living and dying city, as well as of an entire network of questions that have remained at the heart of the history of philosophy ever since its earliest Greek beginnings'Derrida offers us a moving meditation on the relations among photography, light, writing, memory, mourning, death, and survival. Presented as a series of photographic stills-in-prose, his exquisite essay not only enacts and performs what it wishes to convey, but it also tells us that we did not have to wait for the invention of photography to learn why ^3we owe ourselves to death,^2 or why, at every step of this wondrous photographic and philosophical journey, we also ^3owe ourselves to life.^2 It demonstrates once again why, like Athens, Derrida still remains one of our most cherished resources." -- -Eduardo Cadava Princeton University "In this fascinating short book Jacques Derrida ruminates on the photographical instant in the work of Jean-Francois Bonhomme. Confessing his 'passion for the delay' Derrida reads photography as an experience of mourning made possible by the full daylight of Athens and its surroundings. The book presents Derrida at his best, as he travels to ancient sites, contemplates the city and technics, reads ships and Plato - ultimately writing a picture, if that is possible, of photography itself." -- -Sander van Maas Utrecht University and University of Amsterdam "Athens, Still Remains-from the outset, a remarkable translation of an untranslatable title-is not only Jacques Derrida's most luminous and in-depth essay on photography: it develops itself as a photograph, bringing into new light the most structural aspects of the medium as well as its most fragile and fleeting ones. Struck by an enigmatic phrase-"We owe ourselves to death"-that takes a shot at him from the very beginning of his journey through Greece and will taunt him throughout, Derrida's reflection is irresistibly drawn to the photographic image by its spectral monumentality, the memory in the figure of the ruin it displays, the defer/delay (another name for Derrida's differance) effect at work in each image, bearing death from within. The departed, the multiple folds in which the departing process is present in the image, mourning and its intricate workings: this is what catches, here as always, Derrida's philosophical (and "autobiographical") attention-his meditation, rather, impregnated with melancholy, but always of the most active, creative, lively kind. But Athens, Still Remains is not only an essay on photography: more audaciously, Derrida suggests that it is philosophy itself that owes something, in its very "essence" or "origin", to the photographic image. A perfect example of the art of contretemps it analyzes so astutely, this moving essay-magnificently rendered if not heightened by Brault and Naas's most careful translation-comes to us at just the right moment: just in time. For there is no too-late in the reading of Derrida's work: it is there, ahead, waiting for us still." -- -Ginette Michaud Universite de Montreal

Fordham University Press A Common Strangeness
Book SynopsisExamines poetic responses to the transition from the late Cold War period to the post-Cold War era of globalization, focusing on the work of Bei Dao and Yang Lian from China, Arkadii Dragomoshchenko and Dmitrii Prigov from Russia, and Charles Bernstein and Lyn Hejinian from the United States.Trade Review"This is an engaging and bold study, which combines skillful close reading with theoretical astuteness." -- Alexander K. Harrington, Durham University -The Russian Review "There is no doubt that A Common Strangeness, with its focal point in the aesthetic concept and device of estrangement, is a valuable contribution to recent scholarship that aims at finding new ways to look at the intricate network of relations of poetry to the world." -- -Cosima Bruno The China Quarterly "In this ambitious and rich work, Jacob Edmond explores the relationship between recent poetry and globalism. Rejecting both the traditional East/West binary and the local/global opposition which he sees as its replacement, Edmond maps out the middle ground- an area of contact and exchange in which seemingly disparate poets pursued a common poetics of strangeness in the post- Cold War years." -Slavic and East European Journal "The words transnational and globalization appear frequently within scholarship on contemporary poetry, but so far there have been few sustained attempts to narrate recent developments across more than two language-groups or geographical regions ... At least one person can now be said to fill the bill... Edmond shows himself to be thoroughly grounded in the relevant literary traditions, and whether a given poem is written in English, Russian, or Mandarin, he proves able to supply the kind of intensive, patient, erudite textual analysis that one associates with the Yale school back in its heyday." -- -Brian Reed Contemporary Literature "The strength of Edmond's study is the close readings of each poet, which are subtle and insightful across the broad range of national traditions he examines." --Joseph Acquisto in The Modern Language Review "In this superb study Jacob Edmond adeptly and convincingly unites the theory and practice of disparate writers seeking varying cultural philosophies of commonness and strangeness under the broad, all-encompassing umbrella of politics, literary theory, culture, art, and philosophy. His edifying investigation invites further avenues of inquiry." -Journal of Cold War Studies, MIT Press (Project Muse) "This book examines the changes in poetic discourses that have followed from the end of the Cold War and the rise of a global literature, and it engages with impressive competence in the fields of Chinese, American, and post-Soviet literary cultures... An understated, versatile, and clear exponent of poetic analysis and cultural commentary" --Andrew Kahn in the Slavic Review "This book is a remarkable accomplishment. It resists the fashionable solution to the problem it sets itself-it does not seek to dismantle the genre of the poem in deference to the authority of contexts." -Brian Glaser in symploke "Edmond's book offers a rich and thought-provoking study and stimulates comparatist research... the book offers an interesting juxtaposition of 'estranged' poets of various backgrounds and calls the reader's attention to important politically and culturally controversial trends in societies such as China, Russia, and the U.S. It opens up new research vistas by drawing scholarly attention to issues that have become increasingly important in the contemporary world where old oppositions are no longer operative" --Marina Grishakova and Mart Laanemets in Recherche litteraire / LiteraryTable of ContentsList of Illustrations Acknowledgments Introduction 1.

Fordham University Press The Essential Writings
Book SynopsisJean-Luc Marion: The Essential Writings is an anthology of Marion’s diverse writings in the history of philosophy, Christian theology, and phenomenology. The general introduction provides students with sufficient background for them to tackle the work of this important contemporary philosopher without first having to take preliminary courses on Husserl and Heidegger.Trade Review"The Essential Marion will help a new generation of English-speaking readers to share the pleasure venerable French scholars, and less venerable Anglo-saxon scholars, have had for years. A superb, erudite and lucid introduction by Kevin Hart makes Marion even more readable while providing the audience with a general introduction to phenomenology. An astonishingly useful volume." -- -Jean-Yves Lacoste Australian Catholic University "The first major anthology of selections from many of Marion's most important writings, covering a wide range of his work in many different areas: history of philosophy (especially Descartes),phenomenology, theology, philosophy of religion. What makes the collection also particularly valuable are Kevin Hart's excellent introductions, both to Marion's work overall and to each particular area of his writings. Hart's introductions are introductions in the best sense of that term: They prepare the reader, awake interest, provide context, clarify difficulties, raise questions, and especially invite the reader into the texts themselves. This collection will be eminently useful for the classroom but will also prove a valuable introduction to Marion's work for the individual reader." -- -Christina M.

Fordham University Press Vladimir Jank233l233vitch The Time of
Book SynopsisDiscusses the moral and metaphysical philosophy of Vladimir Jankélévitch, his reflections on the conditions for forgiveness, especially in light of the Shoah, and the temporality of forgiveness in its relation to creation, history, and memory.Trade Review"Looney gives a general introduction to Jankelevitch's thought, then goes on to provide an in-depth study of Jankelevitch's book Forgiveness by comparing and contrasting it with thinkers such as Max Scheler, Nietzsche, Levinas, Derrida, Aristotle, and other prominent writers in moral thought." -- -Andrew Kelley Bradley University "It is a scandal that we have had to wait so long for the first monograph in English on Jankekevitch, but this book is more than a fitting tribute to a major thinker. By focusing on Jankelevitch's controversial but difficult theory of forgiveness Aaron T. Looney had made a genuine philosophical contribution in his own right." -- -Robert Bernasconi Penn State University "Aaron Looney carefully lays out the hyperbolic logic of pure forgiveness demanded by Jankelevitch. He shows us that the two most important books by Jankelevitch both differ dramatically from each other and yet can be read as being in continuity. Looney presents a rich tapestry in which he considers such influences on Jankelevitch as Bergson, Nietzsche, and Scheler. He also examines the relationship between Jankelevitch and such thinkers as Arendt and Derrida (showing Derrida to be much closer to Jankelevitch than one might think). The result is a moving work in which we are reminded just how central forgiveness is to human existence." -- -Bruce Ellis Benson Wheaton CollegeTable of ContentsAcknowledgments Introduction: In the Margins 1 1.

Fordham University Press The Storm at Sea Political Aesthetics in the
Book SynopsisRanging from Leonardo to Hobbes, The Storm at Sea: Political Aesthetics in the Time of Shakespeare argues that it is through an engagement with the problem of aesthetic autonomy that the early modern work most profoundly explores its relation to matters of law, state, sovereignty and political subjectivity.Trade Review"Drawing on a rich and wide-ranging selection of important works from Leonardo da Vinci to Thomas Hobbes's Leviathan, through the plays of Thomas Kyd, Christopher Marlowe, and Shakespeare, Christopher Pye makes a powerful case for the existence of an autonomous early modern aesthetic prior to Kant, through readings that are highly attentive to textual detail and theoretically informed by thinkers from philosophy, political theory, and psychoanalysis." -- -Philip Lorenz Cornell University "This is scholarship that does not hesitate to strike out against the errors of earlier critics. Pye goes in chosen directions that prove rewarding." -Bibliotheque d'Humanisme et Renaissance "A learned, ambitious, sharply argued, and consequential book. In a forceful reconsideration of 'the aesthetic' as itself a site of political thought, Pye is throwing down the gauntlet against the prevailing climate of historicist work in early modern literary criticism, which has placed the Renaissance before the arrival of 'the aesthetic' as a category." -- Drew Daniel Johns Hopkins UniversityTable of ContentsContents List of Figures Acknowledgments Preface Chapter 1: Introduction: Early Modern Political Aesthetics Chapter 2: Leonardo's Hand: Mimesis, Sexuality, and the Polis Chapter 3: Shakespeare Distracted: Aesthetics and Political Foundations from Spanish Tragedy to Hamlet Chapter 4: "To throw out our eyes for brave Othello" Chapter 5: Aesthetics and Absolutism in The Winter's Tale Chapter 6: The Beating Mind: The Tempest, Aesthetics and History Chapter 7: Hobbes and the Hydrophobes: The Fate of the Aesthetic in the Time of the State Notes Bibliography Index
