This volume of conversation not only provides a succinct
philosophical biography that highlights the wide range of
Attridge's interests. It likewise foregrounds his energetic
engagements with literary theory, poetics, and stylistics, as well
as his reassessments of contemporary philosophy and literary ideas,
specifically those pertaining to the work Jacques Derrida, James
Joyce, and J. M. Coetzee. Readers will find in this book a
wonderful balancing act as Attridge negotiates the dynamics between
the orthodoxies of critical practice and the strategic
interventions of deconstructive reading. This book, with an
appendix of a chronological listing of Attridge's publications, is
an accessible and provocative introduction to the ideas of one of
the most brilliant critical voices and generous presences in
literary studies in the Anglophone world.
This collection of interviews, reflections, and creative criticism
presents Christopher Norris's vigorous polemics with Hayden White,
Michel Foucault, Jean Baudrillard, Jean-Francois Lyotard, Thomas
Kuhn, Emmanuel Levinas, Pierre Bourdieu, Richard Rorty, and Stanley
Fish. Alongside Norris's uncompromising critiques there emerge
passages of close and careful reading of Jacques Derrida's texts,
as he cites and reiterates Derrida's philosophical contexts in the
works of Immanuel Kant, Gaston Bachelard, and Georges Canguilhem,
and in the current discursive fields of epistemology and philosophy
of science. The book also offers a coda of essays on Frank Kermode,
Terry Eagleton, and Terence Hawkes. This collection, prefaced with
the author's own academic memoir, provides an accessible and
provocative introduction to Norris's critical thought, and
highlights the wide range of his interests and philosophical
engagements.
