Thus opens this carefully nuanced and accessible collection of essays by one of the most important writer-philosophers of the 20th century, Jean-Fran輟is Lyotard (1924-1998). First published in French in 1991 as \u003ci\u003eLectures d'enfance\u003c\/i\u003e, these essays have never been printed as a collection in English. In them, Lyotard investigates his idea of infantia, or the infancy of thought that resists all forms of development, either human or technological. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEach essay responds to works by writers and thinkers who are central to cultural modernism, such as James Joyce, Franz Kafka, Hannah Arendt, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Sigmund Freud. This volume - with a new introduction and afterword by Robert Harvey and Kiff Bamford - contextualises Lyotard's thought and demonstrates his continued relevance today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jean-Francois Lyotard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350167355\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350167353\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/23\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.44d","brand":"Jean-Francois Lyotard","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44071389167871,"sku":"9781350167353","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4d0843a6-d2c0-42a7-b6b6-72b32edf343f.jpg?v=1685435804","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/readings-in-infancy-jean-francois-lyotard-9781350167353","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
