Desire in Ashes: Deconstruction, Psychoanalysis, Philosophy de Professor Simon Wortham

Desire in Ashes: Deconstruction, Psychoanalysis, Philosophy: Bloomsbury Studies in Continental Philosophy

Editat de Professor Simon Wortham, Dr Chiara Alfano
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 17 dec 2015
The indebtedness of contemporary thinkers to Derrida's project of deconstruction is unquestionable, whether as a source of inspiration or the grounds of critical antagonism.

This collection considers: how best to recall deconstruction? Rather than reduce it to an object of historical importance or memory, these essays analyze its significance in terms of complex matrices of desire; provoked in this way, deconstruction cannot be dismissed as 'dead', nor unproblematically defended as alive and well.

Repositioned on the threshold of life-death, deconstruction profoundly complicates the field of critical thought which still struggles to memorialize, inter, or reduce the deconstructive corpus to ashes.

Recenzii

Desire-which can never go out of fashion, never cease to move, never settle finally on its proper object-and "deconstruction," a term, a movement, an intellectual style, a form of thought surely time-stamped, maybe even expired. This marvellous collection of essays shows us that deconstruction's long, unthought concern with desire-primarily in Derrida's work, but also in his closest readers', American as well as European-lets us think beyond its seeming end; and how desire's stubborn persistence, its endlessness, inasmuch as it is deconstruction in act and thought, infuses the work of religion, philosophy, ethics, and historiography. Desire in Ashes realigns thought: it is scholarship at its most consequential and urgent.
Readers interested in the futures of deconstruction and its intersections with contemporary thought will find the publication of Desire in Ashes a welcome event. This well-timed, thoughtful book makes the Derridean analysis of desire a source of deconstruction's continued liveliness and taps its energies in a wide-ranging collection of essays to make the point.
Desire in Ashes is a rich and fascinating volume. Bringing together an impressive range of scholars, Morgan Wortham and Alfano's book offers something not available elsewhere: an excellent, focused collection of insights and explorations concerning the ways in which psychoanalysis and deconstruction have transformed our understanding of the nature of desire.
