This outstanding collection brings together essays that reflect on
the nature of narrative, literary criticism, and history from a
variety of theoretical and disciplinary perspectives, ranging from
deconstruction, psychoanalysis, and trauma theory, to narratology,
technology, economics, and aesthetics. Acts of Narrative includes
responses from renowned scholars across a wide range of
disciplines: philosopher Jacques Derrida; the literary critic J.
Hillis Miller; W. J. T. Mitchell, well-known for his reflections on
the visual world; and Cathy Caruth, one of the founders of the
field of trauma theory. These essays are brilliant in their
readings of other texts, but are also striking in the manner in
which each becomes itself a narrative performance. Moreover, what
starts out as an exercise in theorizing and reading moves, more
often than not, into a meditation on social and political issues
crucial for our own sense of ourselves.
