Synopsis

Makes the case for the rediscovery of British philosopher Gillian Rose’s unique but neglected voice

• Presents the core themes of Rose’s work
• Locates Rose’s ideas within central debates in contemporary social theory: trauma and memory, exclusion and difference, tragedy and messianic utopia
• Engages with the works of Walter Benjamin, Bonnie Honig, Slavoj Žižek and Judith Butler

Gillian Rose draws on idiosyncratic readings of thinkers such as Hegel, Adorno and Kierkegaard to underpin her philosophy, negotiating the ‘broken middle’ between the particular and the universal. While of the left, she is sharply critical of much left-wing thought, insisting that it shirks the work of coming to know and of taking political risk in pursuit of a ‘good enough justice’. Kate Schick shows how Rose’s speculative perspective brings a different gaze to bear on debates, eschewing well-worn liberal, critical–theoretic and post-structural positions.
