In his own reading of Rilke, Martin Heidegger reclaims the open as the proper domain of human existence but suggests that human life remains haunted by vestiges of an animal-like relation to its surroundings. Walter Benjamin, in turn, was to show that such vestiges-what Eric Santner calls the creaturely-have a biopolitical aspect: they are linked to the processes that inscribe life in the realm of power and authority. Santner traces this theme of creaturely life from its poetic and philosophical beginnings in the first half of the twentieth century to the writings of the enigmatic German novelist W. G. Sebald. Sebald's entire oeuvre, Santner argues, can be seen as an archive of creaturely life. For Sebald, the work on such an archive was inseparable from his understanding of what it means to engage ethically with another person's history and pain, an engagement that transforms us from indifferent individuals into neighbors. An indispensable book for students of Sebald, On Creaturely Life is also a significant contribution to critical theory. 606 $aPsychoanalysis and literature 606 $aMelancholy in literature 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPsychoanalysis and literature. 615 0$aMelancholy in literature. 676 $a833/.914 700 $aSantner$b Eric L.$f1955-$0967195 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459366403321 996 $aOn creaturely life$92288366 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02851nam 2200625Ia 450 001 9910784759203321 005 20230207224326.0 010 $a0-19-774322-6 010 $a1-280-52831-1 010 $a0-19-535669-1 010 $a1-4294-1558-4 035 $a(CKB)1000000000402548 035 $a(EBL)271819 035 $a(OCoLC)466426522 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000192150 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11166393 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000192150 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10204558 035 $a(PQKB)11630818 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL271819 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10278894 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL52831 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC271819 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000402548 100 $a19951108d1996 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aLife lines$b[electronic resource] $ecommunity, family, and assimilation among Asian Indian immigrants /$fJean Bacon 210 $aNew York $cOxford University Press$d1996 215 $a1 online resource (314 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a0-19-509973-7 311 $a0-19-509972-9 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references (p. 263-281) and index. 327 $aContents; 1.
