Thinking through both literary and political writings around the Cuban Revolution, Rodríguez Matos explores the link between abstract symbolic procedures and various political experiments that have sought to give form to a principle of sovereignty based on the category of representation. In doing so, he proposes the formless as the limit of modern and contemporary reflections on the meaning of politics while exploring the philosophical consequences of a formless concept of temporality for the critique of metaphysics. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRodríguez Matos takes the writing and thought of José Lezama Lima as the guiding thread in exploring the possibility of a politicity in which time is imagined beyond the disciplining functions it has had throughout the metaphysical tradition--a time of the absence of time, in which the absence of time no longer means eternity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jaime Rodríguez Matos\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 082327408X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780823274086\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Modern Language Initiative\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Jaime Rodríguez Matos","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48483720298751,"sku":"9780823274086","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0eeaf18e-d3bc-4776-aa16-e262738dbb7c.jpg?v=1778040218","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/writing-of-the-formless-jaime-rodrzguez-matos-9780823274086","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
