Produktbeschreibung
Lacoue-Labarthe's Poetry as Experience addresses the question of a lyric language that would not be the expression of subjectivity. In his analysis of the historical position of Paul Celan's poetry, Lacoue-Labarthe defines the subject as the principle that founds, organizes, and secures both cognition and action--a principle that turned, most violently during the twentieth century, into a figure not only of domination but of the extermination of everything other than itself.
