Produktbeschreibung
More than twenty years after his death, Paul de Man remains a haunting presence in the American academy. His name is linked not just with "deconstruction," but with a "deconstruction in America" that continues to disturb the institution it inhabits. The academy seems driven to characterize "de Manian deconstruction," again and again, as dead. Such acts of exorcism testify that de Man's ghost has never been laid to rest, and for good reason: a dispassionate survey of recent trends in critical theory and practice reveals that de Man's influence is considerable and ongoing. These original essays analyze and evaluate aspects of de Man's powerful legacy. Contributions focus on: his great theme of "reading"; his complex notions of "history," "materiality," and "aesthetic ideology"; and his institutional role as a teacher and, more generally, as a charismatic figure associated with the fortunes of "theory." The collection concludes with two appendixes concerning de Man's teaching: a list of the courses he taught at Yale, and the undergraduate course proposal for "Literature Z."
