{"product_id":"responding-to-loss-robert-mugerauer-9780823263240","title":"Responding to Loss: Heideggerian Reflections on Literature, Architecture, and Film","description":"\u003cp\u003eMuch recent philosophical work proposes to illuminate dilemmas of human existence with reference to the arts and culture, often to the point of submitting particular works to preconceived formulations. In this examination of three texts that respond to loss, Robert Mugerauer responds with close, detailed readings that seek to clarify the particularity of the intense force such works bring forth. Mugerauer shows how, in the face of what is irrevocably taken away as well as of what continues to be given, the unavoidable task of interpretation is ours alone. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMugerauer examines works in three different forms that powerfully call on us to respond to loss: Cormac McCarthy's The Crossing, Daniel Libeskind's Jewish Museum Berlin, and Wim Wenders's film Wings of Desire. Explicating these difficult but rich works with reference to the thought of Martin Heidegger, Jean-Luc Marion, Hannah Arendt, and Emmanuel Levinas, the author helps us to experience the multiple and diverse ways in which all of us are opened to the saturated phenomena of loss, violence, witnessing, and responsibility.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Mugerauer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 082326324X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780823263240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fordham University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/15\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 206\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.94lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.27h x 6.42w x 0.75d","brand":"Robert Mugerauer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065190461695,"sku":"9780823263240","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5edf353f-5e60-4749-a478-e3b2b8adfe41.jpg?v=1768673592","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/responding-to-loss-robert-mugerauer-9780823263240","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
