Synopsis
The Premodern Condition identifies and explains a surprising affinity for medievalism and medieval studies among the leading figures of critical theory. Drawing on a wide range of philosophical, literary-critical, and sociological works produced within the French nouvelle critique of the 1960s, Holsinger argues for reconceiving these discourses, in part, as a brilliant amalgamation of medievalisms.
Holsinger shows that the preoccupation with medieval cultures and practices among Bataille, Derrida, Lacan, Barthes, Bourdieu, and their cohorts was so wide ranging that it merits recognition as one of the most significant epiphenomena of postwar French thought. Not simply an object of nostalgic longing or an occasional source of literary exempla, the medieval epoch was continually mined by these thinkers for specific philosophical vocabularies, social formations, and systems of thought. To supplement its master thesis, The Premodern Condition also contains original essays by Bataille and Bourdieu--translated here for the first time into English--that testify in various ways to the strange persistence of medievalisms in French postwar avant-garde writings. What results is an important and original work that will be a touchstone for specialists in medieval studies and critical theory alike.Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.

Original cloth. Etat : Sehr gut. Edition: 1. 276 p. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - In very good condition. - Content: This book traces the shaping force of the medieval in that decade most responsible for the emergence of "French theory," one of the great reifed formations of academic modernity. It is a formation eternally ripe for defamiliarization, and I cannot claim to have studied this particular aspect of it with anything approaching the care or comprehensiveness it deserves. In fact, the closer this project came to completion, the more clearly I could see the extent of its blind spots, and thus the extent of my reliance throughout on the works of those with real expertise in the intellectual history of twentieth-century France; here I would single out Francois Dosse's indispensable histories of French structuralism and of the Annales school (two works which, when read side by side, would make many of the same points belabored in what follows), Tony Judt's books on the modern French Left, and the dozen-odd intellectual biographers of the central figures studied in these five chapters. Nor can the notes reflect the influence of other scholars I have never metparticularly Margaret Cohen, Patrick Ffrench, Suzanne Guerlac, Rosalind Krauss, and Michael T. Saleron my ways of thinking about the intricate and often surprising inner workings of modern avant-garde subcultures, both the one studied here and others. I have benefited as well from the growing genre of books scrutinizing the impact of medievalism and medieval studies on modern (mostly French) thought, in particular R. Howard Bloch and Stephen G. Nichols's Medievalism and the Modernist Temper, of which this book might be understood as a later chapter; Katherine Bergeron's Decadent Enchantments, which approaches related issues from a musicological angle; and Amy Hollywood's Sensible Ecstasy, which appeared as the manuscript was nearing completion and which I have tried to note where appropriate. I owe a special debt to the late Pierre Bourdieu, who shortly before his death granted me permission to include a translation of his postface to Erwin Panofsky's Gothic Architecture and Scholasticism as an appendix to this project. Emily Steiner encouraged me to expand what was a long and unwieldy essay into a short book. Brainstorming sessions with William Kuskin and Mark Winokur helped me to reframe some of the central questions I have tried to ask, while Jessica Rosenfeld's sharp reading of the second chapter clarified what I was trying to say about Lacan. The book has its distant point of origin in a deceptively simple question Caroline Bynum asked me more than ten years ago; I hope I have begun to answer it here. Jennifer Jahner and Kat Rutkowski furnished able research and fact-checking assistance in the final stages. Others providing helpful comments, invitations, readings, and responses included Barbara Nolan, Helen Solterer, Michelle Warren, Barbara Newman, David Wallace, Rita Copeland, Jody Enders, Catherine Sanok, Eugene Vance, Vance Smith, Michael Uebel, Andrew Cole, Kellie Robertson, Erin Labbie, Sarah Kay, Andy Stafford, John Caputo, Sarah Beckwith, David Aers, and Ann Williams-Gascon; and, at the University of Colorado, Karen Jacobs, Jeffrey DeShell, Christopher Braider, Andy Cowell, Jeff Cox, Timothy Morton, Katherine Eggert, Elizabeth Robertson, John-Michael Rivera, Joe Amato, Katherine Millersdaughter, Charlotte Sussman, Valerie Forman, Brendan O'Kelly, and John Stevenson. At the University of Chicago Press, Alan Thomass early interest in this project yielded a contract and several extensions, while Randy Peti-los has been a model of editorial patience and precision; both have made working with the Press an absolute joy. I have been particularly fortunate in the Press's choice of external reviewers: an anonymous reader helped me sharpen and define the project at a much earlier stage, while Amy Hollywood an.
