{"product_id":"the-moment-thomas-wzogenbaur-9783631466506","title":"The Moment: A History, Typology and Theory of the Moment in Philosophy and Literature","description":"Written representations of momentary phenomena such as the Fall, the \u003ci\u003ekairos\u003c\/i\u003e, epiphany, the \u003ci\u003enunc stans\u003c\/i\u003e, the sublime, dialectical and historical moments of change and moments of deferral are always doomed to fail. However, representational failures at writing have always been turned into a performative success: more writing. The author's reading of the various textualizations of the moment is not historical, but genealogical (Foucault) and not typological, but economical (Derrida); it reveals the moment as an inevitable trope: the deconstruction of a representational moment in a given text reinscribes this moment as the text's performative momentum. This ever shifting meaning of the moment has been followed through literary and philosophical texts from Plato to Beckett.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas Wägenbaur\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3631466501\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783631466506\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Gmbh, Internationaler Verlag Der W\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/1993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 364\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Thomas Wägenbaur","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48459869520127,"sku":"9783631466506","price":95.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_de79113a-8494-4c0c-9736-baf707f0c775.jpg?v=1777412248","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-moment-thomas-wzogenbaur-9783631466506","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
