Book Synopsis
Highly ritualized expressions of desire reveal an era's attitude toward what it means to exist as a self among others. Using the writings of such important thinkers as Giorgio Agamben, Jean-Luc Nancy, and Bernard Stiegler as a springboard, this book explores the "techtonic" movements of contemporary culture, in relation to the language of eros.
