What does Lyotard's thought offer contemporary theory? By focusing
on key concepts and themes from his later texts, such as affect,
aesthetics, Andre Malraux, St Paul, nihilism, infancy, space and
writing, Rereading Jean-FranAois Lyotard: Essays on His Later Works
explores the impact and relevance of Lyotard's largely undiscussed
late philosophical works for contemporary theoretical debates. In
his works produced from 1990 until his death in 1998, Lyotard
addresses a number of themes that both revisit and move beyond
those from his earlier work. These include: art and aesthetics;
affect; ethics and politics; modernity and the subject. Despite
designating these texts as part of a 'late period', the chapters do
not exclude a wider engagement with Lyotard's thought and often
seek to engage in connections, resonances and developments across
his many texts. Each chapter within this book places Lyotard as a
figure with much to offer current theoretical debates, reasserts
Lyotard as an important thinker for developments in social thought,
and draws out the many links between his philosophical work and
broader social questions. This is the first work in English to
focus on Lyotard's later writings and will therefore be a key text
to all scholars of his ideas.
