'Nobody knows how to write'. Thus opens this carefully nuanced and
accessible collection of essays by one of the most important
writer-philosophers of the 20th century, Jean-Francois Lyotard
(1924-1998). First published in French in 1991 as Lectures
d'enfance, these essays have never been printed as a collection in
English. In them, Lyotard investigates his idea of infantia, or the
infancy of thought that resists all forms of development, either
human or technological. Each essay responds to works by writers and
thinkers who are central to cultural modernism, such as James
Joyce, Franz Kafka, Hannah Arendt, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Sigmund
Freud. This volume - with a new introduction and afterword by
Robert Harvey and Kiff Bamford - contextualises Lyotard's thought
and demonstrates his continued relevance today.
