Textual layering: contact, historicity, critique

différance and the feminine; memory, trace and the immemorial. The aim of the diverse – often polemical -- analyses carried out in this volume is to reactivate the critical force of textual tradition today through a renewed appreciation of its historical embeddedness, its libidinal sources, as well as its complex economy of separation and contact, diachronicity and synchronicity, (re)layering and de-layering.

This book will be of interest to scholars of Continental Philosophy, Literary Theory, Gender Studies, Architecture, Film and Visual Culture Studies, Psychoanalysis, Postmodernism, Post-colonial Studies, Political and Social Theory.
