Description
Book SynopsisMinima Memoria attests to the impact of the works of Jean-Francois Lyotard, one of the most influential French philosophers of the twentieth century, and the continuing effects of these works across a wide array of fields: philosophy, literature, political theory, gender theory, aesthetics, and psychoanalysis.
Trade Review"...a very high calibre contribution which succeeds in uncovering the power, sensitivity, and depth of Lyotard's thought, and in demonstrating its relevance for contemporary problems. As such, it succeeds in being the kind of 'wake' the authors intended." —
