the Threshold of Visible World
Beschrijving
Bol
The topic of love is consistantly neglected within literary theory. Here, Silverman argues that love has a political role to play as well as a role within the psychic domain. In The Threshold of the Visible World Kaja Silverman advances a revolutionary new political aesthetic, exploring the possibilities for looking beyond the restrictive mandates of the self, and the normative aspects of the cultural image-repertoire. She provides a detailed account of the social and psychic forces which constrain us to look and identify in normative ways, and the violence which that normativity implies.
