Sommario/riassunto

Highly ritualized expressions of desire reveal an era's attitude toward what it means to exist as a self among others. Using the writings of Giorgio Agamben, Jean-Luc Nancy and Bernard Stiegler as a springboard, this book explores the 'techtonic' movements of contemporary culture, in relation to the language of eros.
