Download or read book Post-deconstructive Subjectivity and History written by Aniruddha Chowdhury. This book was released on 2013-09-19. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Post-Deconstructive Subjectivity and History, Aniruddha Chowdhury argues that deconstruction is not only not a dissolution of subject, as it is often opined, but an affirmation of the singular (ethical) subject and singular history, singularity conceived as alterity, difference and non-identity. Part of the emphasis of the singular history is to conceive the historical relation as figural and as one of repletion with difference. One of the distinctive aspects of the book is that it not only focuses on the tradition of phenomenology, but also extends deconstruction to critical theory, and postcolonial theory. Through his intimate reading of the canonical texts of the Continental philosophical tradition (phenomenology and critical theory), and postcolonial thought Chowdhury illuminates pertinent issues in Continental thought, and postcolonial theory.

Book excerpt: Investigates the possibility that the subject, rather than being a driving force behind deconstruction, may appear to defend the foundational project of philosophical thinking at the very moment it begins to break up. The 11 essays highlight the variety of ways subjectivity has been interpreted within the continental philosophical tradition, including post-Kantian idealism, post- Husserlian phenomenology, psychoanalysis, Frankfurt Critical Theory, poststructuralism, and recent developments.

Download or read book Deconstruction and the Postcolonial written by Michael Syrotinski. This book was released on 2007-01-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Postcolonial studies, and the rich body of theory that it applies in its analyses, has transformed and unsettled the ways in which, across a whole range of disciplines, we think about notions such as subjectivity, national identity, globalization, history, language, literature or international politics. Until recently, the emphasis of the groundbreaking work being carried out in these areas has been almost exclusively within an Anglophone context, but increasingly the focus of postcolonial studies is shifting to a more comparative approach. One of the most intriguing developments in this shift.

Book Synopsis Post-Subjectivity by : Andrew German

Download or read book Post-Subjectivity written by Andrew German. This book was released on 2014-04-11. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern thinkers have often declared the end, or even the “death,” of the subject and have been searching for new ways of “being a self.” Indeed, many contemporary scholars regard this search as one of the most significant effects of the general crisis of secularity. Post-Subjectivity is a contribution to that search, conducted with a renewed attention to the centrality of religion, in a pluralistic and global context. This volume of essays guides the reader through, but also beyond, the crises of modernity and postmodernity, toward an attempt to “resurrect” the subject in new forms. The volume resonates with voices from across the humanistic disciplines: the theological turn in recent phenomenology, new directions in Christian and Jewish theology, and reappraisals of figures in the history of philosophy, psychoanalysis, and the study of sexuality—all are represented in an attempt to rethink, from the beginning, what it is to be a “self.”
