Mystic Speech to Open Space,
This review is from: The Certeau Reader (Blackwell Readers) (Paperback)
Michel de Certeau bridged topics ranging from the mind of the mystic to the heart of public space to the nature of language and writing. Graham Ward's introduction surveys work omitted in the reader itself, including de Certeau's crucial "How Is Christianity Thinkable Today?" (available in the separate, Ward-edited collection, "The Post-Modern God"). De Certeau's book-length treatments, such as "The Practice of Everyday Life" and "The Mystic Fable," are also discussed in valuable section introductions in The Certeau Reader.I was surprised to find de Certeau's essay "Mystic Speech," available in more complete translation in his "Heterologies: Discourse on the Other," reduced here by about one-fourth, including loss of a major section heading, on "The Beginning, or the Poem." In some compensation, perhaps, "The Certeau Reader" closes with a new-to-English sampling of a late work, "The Weakness of Believing: From the Body to Writing, a Christian Transit." Noting the Christian tradition de Certeau wrote out of (in more ways than one, perhaps), Ward comments on the closing essay that, "[a]lthough its focus is explicitly biblical and ecclesial, it nevertheless articulates a pastoral concern evident throughout Certeau's work: a concern with violence or [citing Certeau directly now] the 'distortion between what a discourse says and what a society does with it.'" For this we may be most grateful.
