Leo Bersani's career spans more than fifty years and extends across
a wide spectrum of fields-including French studies, modernism,
realist fiction, psychoanalytic criticism, film studies, and queer
theory. Throughout this new collection of essays that ranges,
interestingly and brilliantly, from movies by Claire Denis and
Jean-Luc Godard to fiction by Proust and Pierre Bergounioux,
Bersani considers various kinds of connectedness. Thoughts and
Things posits what would appear to be an irreducible gap between
our thoughts (the human subject) and things (the world). Bersani
departs from his psychoanalytic convictions to speculate on the
oneness of being-of our intrinsic connectedness to the other that
is at once external and internal to us. He addresses the problem of
formulating ways to consider the undivided mind, drawing on various
sources, from Descartes to cosmology, Freud, and Genet and succeeds
brilliantly in diagramming new forms as well as radical failures of
connectedness. Ambitious, original, and eloquent, Thoughts and
Things will be of interest to scholars in philosophy, film,
literature, and beyond.
