The first-ever comprehensive examination of Tzvetan Todorov's
cultural theory and his place in European thought. Originally known
for his groundbreaking work in literary studies, the Bulgarian-born
French scholar Tzvetan Todorov (1939-2017) was one of the world's
foremost cultural theorists. His interventions cover an astounding
range of topics, from narratology to ethics, from painting to
politics, and from the Enlightenment to current affairs. This
collection of essays is the first-ever comprehensive examination of
Todorov as a cultural critic. It offers in-depth discussions of the
crucial elements of his thought since his historical and cultural
turn in the early 1980s: his "marginal centricity" within the
French intellectual field, and his relations with other French
thinkers; his philosophical precursors and influences, notably
Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Mikhail Bakhtin; his conception of the
Enlightenment; his views on historiography, and on the possibility
and limitations of passing historical judgments; his defense of a
European identity; and his political philosophy, including his
critique of totalitarianism, neoconservativism, and neoliberalism.
Written by international experts in the fields of Enlightenment
studies, literary and cultural studies, critical theory, and
intellectual history, this volume offers both an introduction to
one of the most important postwar European thinkers and discussions
of some of the most hotly debated topics in cultural studies today.
