During recent years critics have increasingly expressed their loss
of faith in existing cultural and political collective frameworks,
drawing attention instead to irreducible singularity and to radical
incommensurability between diverse positions or groups. Hiddleston
analyses and challenges this trend, bringing together political,
theoretical and literary analysis and juxtaposing the works of
critical theorists such as Derrida, Lyotard and Nancy with
literature by writers of North African immigrant origin. She
presents a critique of those writers who underline the absence of
communal identification, proposes a new emphasis on relational
networks interconnecting diverse cultural groups, and argues for a
more subtle understanding of the complex interplay of the singular
and the collective in contemporary French writing.
