Critical Excess examines in detail the work of five thinkers who have had a huge, ongoing impact on the study of literature and film: Jacques Derrida, Gilles Deleuze, Emmanuel Levinas, Slavoj ?i?ek, and Stanley Cavell. Their approaches are very different from one another, but they each make unexpected interpretive leaps that render their readings exhilarating and unnerving. But do they go too far? Does a scribbled note left behind by Nietzsche really tell us about the nature of textuality? Can Hitchcock truly tell you "everything you always wanted to know about Lacan"? Does the blanket hung up in a motel room invoke the Kantian divide between the knowable phenomenal world and the unknowable things in themselves? Contextualizing the work of the five thinkers in the intellectual debates to which they contribute, this book analyzes the stakes and advantages of "overreading." 606 $aCriticism 606 $aLiterature$xPhilosophy 606 $aLiterature$xHistory and criticism$xTheory, etc 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCriticism. 615 0$aLiterature$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aLiterature$xHistory and criticism$xTheory, etc. 676 $a801/.95 700 $aDavis$b Colin$f1960-$0858026 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458224803321 996 $aCritical excess$92472942 997 $aUNINA
