{"product_id":"reinventing-community-jane-hiddlestone-9781904713029","title":"Reinventing Community: Identity and Difference in Late Twentieth-Century Philosophy and Literature in French","description":"During recent years critics have increasingly expressed their loss of faith in existing cultural and political collective frameworks, drawing attention instead to irreducible singularity and to radical incommensurability between diverse positions or groups. Hiddleston analyses and challenges this trend, bringing together political, theoretical and literary analysis and juxtaposing the works of critical theorists such as Derrida, Lyotard and Nancy with literature by writers of North African immigrant origin. She presents a critique of those writers who underline the absence of communal identification, proposes a new emphasis on relational networks interconnecting diverse cultural groups, and argues for a more subtle understanding of the complex interplay of the singular and the collective in contemporary French writing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jane Hiddlestone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1904713025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781904713029\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 238\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.38h x 5.56w x 0.74d","brand":"Jane Hiddlestone","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48113749950719,"sku":"9781904713029","price":97.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_193cd655-a2e1-431d-a6f4-1c91fe2dfbbc.jpg?v=1769617068","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/reinventing-community-jane-hiddlestone-9781904713029","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
