Little Did I Know: Excerpts from Memory de Stanley Cavell

Little Did I Know: Excerpts from Memory: Cultural Memory in the Present

Autor Stanley Cavell
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 23 iul 2010

Imaginați-vă un tânăr student la prestigioasa școală Juilliard, înconjurat de partituri și rigoarea interpretării muzicale, care decide brusc să abandoneze cariera de muzician pentru a se dedica abstracțiunilor filosofiei la UCLA. Această cotitură radicală nu a fost doar o schimbare de carieră, ci geneza uneia dintre cele mai originale voci ale gândirii americane contemporane. În Little Did I Know, descoperim nu o autobiografie clasică, ci un jurnal filosofic dens, unde Stanley Cavell reconstruiește traseul care l-a purtat din Atlanta până la catedra de la Harvard. Subliniem modul în care autorul transformă amintirea personală într-un instrument de analiză, demonstrând cum „limbajul obișnuit” se ciocnește de marile întrebări ale existenței.

Narativul amintește de Here and There prin intensitatea cu care reconstituie o epocă intelectuală vibrantă, oferind portrete vii ale unor mentori și prieteni precum J.L. Austin sau Thomas Kuhn. Considerăm că forța acestui volum rezidă în capacitatea lui Cavell de a integra accidentalul și anecdota în marea țesătură a cunoașterii. Față de lucrările sale anterioare, precum This New Yet Unapproachable America, unde analiza se concentra pe Emerson și Wittgenstein, Little Did I Know funcționează ca o cheie de boltă: aici, conceptele de estetică și scepticism nu sunt doar teme de studiu, ci experiențe trăite. Stilul este reflexiv, cinematic pe alocuri, reflectând pasiunea sa pentru film, cunoscută deja din Philosophy the Day after Tomorrow. Este o incursiune de peste 500 de pagini într-o minte care a refuzat granițele rigide dintre discipline, oferind o perspectivă rară asupra modului în care viața alimentează, inevitabil, opera.

Despre autor

Stanley Cavell a fost profesor emerit de Estetică și Teoria Valorii la Universitatea Harvard, fiind considerat un „titan” al gândirii academice americane. Cu o carieră ce s-a întins pe mai bine de jumătate de secol, Cavell a publicat optsprezece cărți fundamentale, explorând teme diverse de la tradiția filosofiei analitice la opera lui Shakespeare și estetica cinematografică. Formarea sa hibridă, oscilând între muzică și filosofie, i-a permis să creeze o punte unică între artele spectacolului și rigoarea epistemologică, influențând generații întregi de studenți și artiști, inclusiv pe regizorul Terrence Malick.

Descriere scurtă

An autobiography in the form of a philosophical diary, Little Did I Know's underlying motive is to describe the events of a life that produced the kind of writing associated with Stanley Cavell's name. Cavell recounts his journey from early childhood in Atlanta, Georgia, through musical studies at UC Berkeley and Julliard, his subsequent veering off into philosophy at UCLA, his Ph.D. studies at Harvard, and his half century of teaching. Influential people from various fields figure prominently or in passing over the course of this memoir. J.L. Austin, Ernest Bloch, Roger Sessions, Thomas Kuhn, Robert Lowell, Rogers Albritton, Seymour Shifrin, John Rawls, Bernard Williams, W. V. O. Quine, and Jacques Derrida are no longer with us; but Cavell also pays homage to the living: Michael Fried, John Harbison, Rose Mary Harbison, Kurt Fischer, Milton Babbitt, Thompson Clarke, John Hollander, Hilary Putnam, Sandra Laugier, Belle Randall, and Terrence Malick. The drift of his narrative also registers the decisiveness of the relatively unknown and the purely accidental. Cavell's life has produced a trail of some eighteen published books that range from treatments of individual writers like Wittgenstein, Austin, Emerson, Thoreau, Heidegger, Shakespeare, and Beckett to studies in aesthetics, epistemology, moral and political philosophy, cinema, opera, and religion.

Recenzii

"Film and literature are where Cavell sees these issues most profoundly and, in a way, most philosophically enacted, which accounts for the excitement with which his work has been greeted by non-philosophers. His autobiography, Little Did I Know: Excerpts from Memory, is itself a work of literature, as much a testing and investigation of voice as it is a human record . . . What Cavell gives us is a way to hear what we already know, but refuse to face. Little Did I know makes it clear that we already know more than enough. Our problem is a refusal to acknowledge it."—Thomas Gardner, Books and Culture

"[S]tunning . . . What appears at first as a recapitulation of the themes of a life . . . reveals itself in its final pages, with breathtaking emotional force, as a farewell to the father as complex and elusive as it is ordinary . . . A master teacher."—Matthew Goulish, TDR: The Drama Review

"Alongside the memories themselves are many meditations on the art of remembering, of retelling stories. This is Cavell at his most philosophical, so it is compelling stuff . . . Writing, like philosophy, and like life, does not provide answers. Like all his works, these memoirs are intended to have a therapeutic effect—for the writer as well as the reader."—Katrina Forrester, Cambridge Literary Review

"Stanley Cavell's recent book, Little Did I Know: Excerpts From Memory, is an unusual and absorbing work of recollection . . . At the close of this magisterial, idiosyncratic and rewarding book, it is not easy to know where we have ended up. Yet it is a fascinating place to find ourselves."—Adam Gonya, Yearbook of the Irish Philosophical Society

"It is in [Cavell's] ability to intervene in his own storytelling to explain something further that the autobiography emerges as an important work of Cavellian philosophy . . . Little Did I Know takes on the challenge of using ordinary language to face a real threat, the actual end to the writer's thought. Thus, the memoir emerges not as a simple autobiography, but rather as the undertaking of the philosophical task Cavell has set, the attainment of peace through the repositioning of himself against his pending death . . . His autobiography becomes the marker of himself in history, the reminder to himself and to his readers that he exists in relation to all with which he interacts."—Alexanda Manglis, Oxonian Review
"Stanley Cavell's Little Did I Know belongs alongside other great works of self-examination that are also indispensable explorations of the human condition, books such as the Essais of Montaigne and the journals of Cavell's own beloved Emerson. Cavell's work has always been about the complexity of human life, and his own experience has always been present in his philosophy. His memoir deepens our understanding of both his life and his philosophy. It is a work of great particularity—Cavell's own life from Depression-era Atlanta to late twentieth-century Harvard—but also a work of profound universality, a thoughtful man's reflections on everything from fitting into his clothes and fitting into high school to finding friends, peers, love, personal calling, and social justice. This book is a treasure."—Paul Guyer, University of Pennsylvania
"Widely acknowledged to be one of the most original thinkers in the United States, Stanley Cavell has always emphasized that autobiography is intrinsic to all interesting philosophical writing. Little Did I Know is more than a philosopher's story of his life: it is itself a piece of philosophy."—Espen Hammer, Temple University
"From its extraordinary beginning to its enlightened ending, this is a great work of literature of philosophy. Incomparable as well as peerless, Little Did I Know makes powerful contributions to psychology, to psychoanalysis, and to the art of writing, especially that of autobiography. It will contribute to how we understand the lives of philosophers and will be read with pleasure and utility for decades and centuries to come."—Marc Shell, Harvard University
