基本説明
De Man first expounds-and then supports with studies of individual theorists-his argument that literature should be approached as a rhetoric and a poetics before it is studied as a hermeneutics and a history.
Full Description
Explores reasons why the theoretical enterprise is blind to, or "resists," the radical nature of reading, in six essays that offer a new level of critical and cultural understanding in reference to the works of Jauss, Riffaterre, Benjamin, and Bakhtin.
In a brilliant collection of essays, de Man explores his views, that, the resistance to theory is inherent in the theoretical enterprise itself, and the real debate is with its own methodological assumptions and possibilities.
"Indispensable. . . . There is resistance to 'theory' and also confusion about its status with reference to both philosophy and criticism." -Frank Kermode, Columbia University
