“An unprecedented evaluation and presentation of Weber’s work.
A landmark volume.”—Patricia Dailey, Columbia University
“An excellent job of presenting the incredible range of Weber’s
thought.”
—Emily Apter, New York University 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.
This book brings together essays by eminent 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unpublished essays by Weber himself: “God Bless America!”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.
