Book Description

Publication Date: September 2003 | ISBN-10: 0754631222 | ISBN-13: 978-0754631224

This introductory text examines the work of the contemporary thinker, Samuel Weber. Accessible and challenging, Weber's writing offers a rewarding investigation into the connections between literary and cultural studies, media and technology, and philosophy and aesthetics, in the context of significant intellectual debates and developments linking Europe and North America. A noted reader of Freud, Heidegger and Derrida, among many others, the critical practice of Weber's various texts is explored in detail, along with his studies in philosophy, aesthetics, deconstruction, media, technology, psychoanalysis and theatre.
