Posted on February 2, 2008 - Filed Under Media |
Gary Hall, Professor of Media and Performing Arts in the Department of
Media and Communication, has just had a book published with
Fordham University Press in the US.
Experimenting: Essays with Samuel Weber (New York: Fordham University
Press) is co-edited by Professor Hall and Professor Simon Morgan Wortham
of the University of Portsmouth.
The work of Samuel Weber has greatly influenced thinkers in a broad
array of disciplines. His texts have been especially important to the
deconstructive tradition, given his early recognition of the importance
of Jacques Derrida. Taught by Theodor W. Adorno, he is equally at home
in the Critical Theory of the Frankfurt School, in the German literary
and philosophical tradition, and in psychoanalysis.
Experimenting brings together essays by eminent international scholars
seeking to assess the impact of Weber’s writings. It also contains two
new and previously unpublished essays by Weber himself: ‘God Bless
America!’ and ‘Going Along for the Ride: Violence and Gesture—Agamben
Reading Benjamin Reading Kafka Reading Cervantes’.
Contributors: Susan Bernstein, Peter Fenves, Gary Hall, Andrew McNamara,
Simon Morgan Wortham, Marc Redfield, Avital Ronell, R. L. Rutsky, and
Samuel Weber.
