Fighting Theory
Book (italiano):
<div> <p class="MsoNormal">International interest in the work of Avital Ronell has expressed itself in reviews, articles, essays, and dissertations. For <I>Fighting Theory,</i> psychoanalyst and philosopher Anne Dufourmantelle conducted twelve interviews with Ronell, each focused on a key topic in one of Ronell's books or on a set of issues that run throughout her work.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">What do philosophy and literary studies have to learn from each other? How does Ronell place her work within gender studies? What does psychoanalysis have to contribute to contemporary thought? What propels one in our day to Nietzsche, Derrida, Nancy, Bataille, and other philosophical writers? How important are courage and revolt? Ronell's discussions of such issues are candid, thoughtful, and often personal, bringing together elements from several texts, illuminating hints about them, and providing her up-to-date reflections on what she had written earlier.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">Intense and often ironic, <I>Fighting Theory</i> is a poignant self-reflection of the worlds and walls against which Avital Ronell crashed.</p></DIV>
