{"product_id":"understanding-blanchot-understanding-modernism-christopher-langlois-9781501360961","title":"Understanding Blanchot, Understanding Modernism","description":"Maurice Blanchot occupies a central though still-overlooked position in the Anglo-American reception of 20th-century continental philosophy and literary criticism. On the one hand, his rigorous yet always-playful exchanges with the most challenging figures of the philosophical and literary canons of modernity have led thinkers such as Georges Bataille, Emmanuel Levinas, Jacques Derrida, and Michel Foucault to acknowledge Blanchot as a major influence on the development of literary and philosophical culture after World War II. On the other hand, Blanchot's reputation for frustrating readers with his difficult style of thought and writing has resulted in a missed opportunity for leveraging Blanchot in advancing the most essential discussions and debates going on today in the comparative study of literature, philosophy, politics, history, ethics, and art. Blanchot's voice is simply too profound, too erudite, and too illuminating of what is at stake at the intersections of these disciplines not to be exercising more of an influence than it has in only a minority of intellectual circles. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eUnderstanding Blanchot, Understanding Modernism\u003c\/i\u003e brings together an international cast of leading and emergent scholars in making the case for precisely what contemporary modernist studies stands to gain from close inspection of Blanchot's provocative post-war writings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christopher Langlois\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501360965\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501360961\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Continnuum-3PL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/26\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.71d","brand":"Christopher Langlois","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43985962696959,"sku":"9781501360961","price":46.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3b5c969c-685c-4c8a-96d7-56dc7dfe35a7.jpg?v=1683280564","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/understanding-blanchot-understanding-modernism-christopher-langlois-9781501360961","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
