Points of Departure - Samuel Weber between Spectrality and Reading (Paperback)

Since the late 1960s, when he introduced Theodor Adorno's work on
literature and cultural critique to an English-speaking public,
Samuel Weber has stimulated the discovery of new and unexpected
links within a broad spectrum of humanistic disciplines, including
critical theory and psychoanalysis, media studies and literary
analysis, continental philosophy and theater studies. The
international group of scholars who contribute to Points of
Departure demonstrate the persistent fecundity of Weber's work.
Centered around his essay on the Ghost of Hamlet, as reflected in
the writings of Walter Benjamin and Carl Schmitt, the volume is
broadly divided into explorations of the nature of spectrality, on
the one hand, and the dynamics of reading, on the other. Each of
the twelve essays thus takes its point of departure from "Weber's
singular path between languages, cultures, and traditions"-to quote
Jacques Derrida, whose fictive "interview with a passing
journalist" is published here for the first time.
