{"product_id":"thought-images-gerhard-richter-9780804756167","title":"Thought-Images: Frankfurt School Writers' Reflections from Damaged Life","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this book, Gerhard Richter explores the aesthetic and political ramifications of the literary genre of the \u003ci\u003eDenkbild\u003c\/i\u003e, or thought-image, as it was employed by four major German-Jewish writers and philosophers of the first half of the twentieth century: Theodor W. Adorno, Walter Benjamin, Ernst Bloch, and Siegfried Kracauer. The \u003ci\u003eDenkbild\u003c\/i\u003e is a poetic mode of writing, a brief snapshot-in-prose that stages the interrelation of literary, philosophical, political, and cultural insights. Richter's careful analysis of the linguistic characteristics of this mode of writing sheds new light on pivotal concerns of modernity, including the fractured cityscape, philosophical problems of modern music, the experience of exiled homelessness, and the disaster of Auschwitz. \u003ci\u003eThought-Images\u003c\/i\u003e not only reorients our understanding of the Frankfurt School of Critical Theory in important ways but also establishes significant links between these writers and contemporary French thinkers such as Jacques Derrida. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gerhard Richter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0804756163\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804756167\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 06\/08\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.10w x 0.70d","brand":"Gerhard Richter","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065147502847,"sku":"9780804756167","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_68d83c10-9f7f-4f43-975b-e69c48c244db.jpg?v=1768673307","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/thought-images-gerhard-richter-9780804756167","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
