The "ancient quarrel" between philosophy and literature seems to
have been resolved once and for all with the recognition that
philosophy and the arts may be allies instead of enemies. "Critical
Excess" examines in detail the work of five thinkers who have had a
huge, ongoing impact on the study of literature and film: Jacques
Derrida, Gilles Deleuze, Emmanuel Levinas, Slavoj Zižek, and
Stanley Cavell. Their approaches are very different from one
another, but they each make unexpected interpretive leaps that
render their readings exhilarating and unnerving.
But do they go too far? Does a scribbled note left behind by
Nietzsche really tell us about the nature of textuality? Can
Hitchcock truly tell you "everything you always wanted to know
about Lacan"? Does the blanket hung up in a motel room invoke the
Kantian divide between the knowable phenomenal world and the
unknowable things in themselves? Contextualizing the work of the
five thinkers in the intellectual debates to which they contribute,
this book analyzes the stakes and advantages of "overreading."
