Deconstruction and Critical Theory

Description

Cet ouvrage présente la déconstruction franco-américaine dans un contexte philosophique et littéraire. Il s'agit de situer les différentes approches théoriques qui s'en réclament par rapport aux discussions récentes, qui négligent souvent ses origines dialectiques, nietzschéennes et romantiques. Les principales critiques dont elle est l'objet, notamment de la part de l'Ecole de Francfort, sont également analysées.
