Edward Said de Adel Iskandar

Edward Said: University of California Press

Editat de Adel Iskandar, Hakem Rustom
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 aug 2010

Recomandăm Edward Said – A Legacy of Emancipation and Representation ca o resursă academică fundamentală pentru studenții și cercetătorii din domeniul istoriei, studiilor culturale și științelor politice, fiind o lucrare de referință pentru înțelegerea impactului intelectualului public în secolul XXI. Acest volum colectiv, coordonat de Adel Iskandar și Hakem Rustom, depășește simpla exegeză, propunând o analiză plurivocă a moștenirii lăsate de Said, de la fundamentele postcolonialismului până la critica puterii coloniale. Remarcăm structura riguroasă a celor 566 de pagini, care reușește să acopere spectrul vast al preocupărilor lui Said: umanismul secular, critică literară, muzicologie și activism. Contribuțiile unor gânditori precum Judith Butler sau Cornel West oferă o profunzime critică rar întâlnită, transformând volumul într-un instrument esențial pentru seminarele de specialitate. Comparabil cu The Cambridge Introduction to Edward Said în rigurozitate, acest titlu este actualizat pentru complexitatea noilor direcții de cercetare din „Edward Said Studies”, oferind o perspectivă mult mai diversificată și critică asupra tensiunilor dintre estetică și politică. Spre deosebire de The Selected Works of Edward Said, care rămâne o antologie de texte primare, volumul de față publicat de University of California Press funcționează ca un dialog critic activ. Analizele incluse nu se limitează la celebrarea autorului, ci chestionează limitările și potențialul generativ al ideilor sale în contextul geopolitic actual. Este o lectură densă, cu un ton academic precis, care fundamentează responsabilitatea intelectualului în spațiul public.

Descriere

"Edward Said was an intellectual with a passion for justice and he allowed nothing to deter him in its pursuit. Edward Said: A Legacy of Emancipation and Representation reflects this."—Archbishop Desmond Tutu "Edward Said was the great public intellectual in late 20th century United States of America. Yet the many dimensions of his genius have yet to be fully appreciated. This indispensable book is a grand response to this urgent need!"—Cornel West, Princeton University "Edward Said: Emancipation and Representation explores themes of aesthetics, identity, colonialism, Palestine, Israel, Zionism and intellectuals. Each section includes path-breaking new work in the growing field of Edward Said Studies. No other existing book deals with Said's work from so many varied perspectives."—Hamid Dabashi, Columbia University "These fine essays bring sympathetic yet critical attention to Said's remarkable range of contributions to politics and to the study of literature and culture. Reading them, one gets a vivid sense not merely of his ideas and his arguments but his vast yet unsentimental humanity."—Akeel Bilgrami, Columbia University "This remarkable volume helps to ensure that our conversation with Edward Said continues; all the articles in it draw their material or their inspiration from his work, and their diversity and richness are a testament to his extraordinary legacy."—Ahdaf Soueif, author of The Map of Love: A Novel, Booker Prize finalist "The very distinguished and diverse group of scholars who have contributed to this volume explore and illuminate the intellectual and political dimensions, and profound impact, of Edward W. Said's life and work. Their original and lively essays enrich our understanding of Said's writings, and the book as a whole is both testimony and tribute to the continuing importance, vitality and productivity of Said's legacy as a scholar, public intellectual, cultural critic and political activist."—Zachary Lockman, author of Contending Visions of the Middle East: the History and Politics of Orientalism "In this remarkable and important book, the authors interact with Edward Said in so many different ways that the reader is both amazed and out of breath. This book makes one think."—Immanuel Wallerstein, Yale University "This timely volume takes seriously the vast and challenging writings of Edward Said as they traverse the praxis of humanism, the literary contours of orientalism, and the intransigent and persistent critical of colonial power and the Palestinian struggle for freedom. A wide range of authors contest the the proper stance and trajectory of Said’s work, the ramifications of his work for literary studies, aesthetics, and politics, the status of humanism and secular criticism. They converge, however, in appreciating the passionate critique of colonial occupation and dispossession from the perspective of the displaced and the refugee. Taken together, these essays show how academic reflection can and must enter the public world at precisely those junctures that the border patrols of thought would shut down. They show that the critical responsibility of intellectuals consists in marshalling media for articulating loss and hope, insisting on a presence for those whose lives are threatened time and again with erasure. This is an important and rich volume that continues the critical task of Said in a plurivocal mode, establishing the unceasing intellectual force and fecundity of Said's work."—Judith Butler, University of California, Berkeley

Descriere scurtă

Edward W. Said (1935-2003) ranks as one of the most preeminent public intellectuals of our time. Through his literary criticism, his advocacy for the Palestinian cause, and his groundbreaking book Orientalism, Said elegantly enriched public discourse by unsettling the status quo. This indispensable volume, the most comprehensive and wide-ranging resource on Edward Said's life and work, spans his broad legacy both within and beyond the academy. The book brings together contributions from thirty-one luminaries--leading scholars, critics, writers, and activists--to engage Said's provocative ideas. Their essays and interviews explore the key themes of emancipation and representation through the prisms of postcolonial theory, literature, music, philosophy, and cultural studies.
