Reviews
Publisher Synopsis
"Presence offers a timely constellation of essays addressing the recent turn toward presence in various disciplines, notably aesthetics, literary criticism, philosophy, and history. The interacting essays in this volume provide an informed, thought-provoking, sometimes contestable, and at points uncannily defamiliarizing guide to the sinuous, many-sided turn to presence." -- Dominick LaCapra, Cornell University, author of <I>History, Literature, Critical Theory</I> "This book can be compared to a river: starting from the central notion of presence its chapters cover a whole delta of theoretical issues. In truly impressive fashion, the authors convince readers of the importance of the notion of presence. There is a certain ground to their argument, namely a 'return to the real.' The stakes could not possibly be higher and it cannot be doubted that with the notion of presence a new paradigm in the humanities announces itself." -- Frank Ankersmit, University of Groningen, author of <I>Meaning, Truth, and Reference in Historical Representation</I> Read more...
