It offers a personalized account of some of the central theoretical movements in literary studies and in the humanities over the past thirty years, together with an equally personal view of a possible future. Based on this assessment of the past and the future of literary studies and the humanities, the book develops the provocative thesis that, through their exclusive dedication to interpretation, i.e. to the reconstruction and attribution of meaning, the humanities have become incapable of addressing a dimension in all cultural phenomena that is as important as the dimension of meaning. Interpretation alone cannot do justice to the dimension of \"presence,\" a dimension in which cultural phenomena and cultural events become tangible and have an impact on our senses and our bodies. \u003ci\u003eProduction of Presence\u003c\/i\u003e is a passionate plea for a rethinking and a reshaping of the intellectual practice within the humanities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0804749167\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804749169\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/11\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.50w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2004 pg. 2030","brand":"Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43990369698047,"sku":"9780804749169","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_05a7fdb0-bf82-4536-9c86-20ff7b588b79.jpg?v=1683304283","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/production-of-presence-hans-ulrich-gumbrecht-9780804749169","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
