About this book
Reviews
'A sophisticated and engaging work that makes a significant contribution to the field of contemporary aesthetics and critical theory.' - Christopher A. Dustin, Professor of Philosophy, College of the Holy Cross
'In this book Mary-Joe Hughes shows how our post-sixties culture bears witness to a dramatic dissolution of boundaries between form and content, author and reader, text and world. Challenging the postmodern cult of Theory the author lets works of art - music, film, painting and literature - speak for themselves, while remaining critically conversant with the philosophies of Derrida and Levinas. The book makes a powerful plea for creative interconnection over cynical conflation, for inventive hybridity over consumerist confusion, citing contemporary works from Coetzee and Calvino to Peter Weir and Yo-Yo Ma. The author convinces by a combination of intellectual audacity, critical integrity and deep imagination.' - Richard Kearney, Charles Seelig Chair of Philosophy, Boston College
