Paperback. Etat : New. As animals recede from our world, what tale is being told by literature's creatures? Behold an Animal: Four Exorbitant Readings examines incongruous animals in the works of four major contemporary French writers: an airborne horse in a novel by Jean-Philippe Toussaint, extinct orangutans in Éric Chevillard, stray dogs in Marie NDiaye, vanishing (bits of) hedgehogs in Marie Darrieussecq. Resisting naturalist assumptions that an animal in a story is simply-literally or metaphorically-an animal, Thangam Ravindranathan understands it rather as the location of something missing. The animal is a lure: an unfinished figure fleeing the frame, crossing bounds of period, genre, even medium and language. Its flight traces an exorbitant (self-)portrait in which thinking admits to its commerce with life and flesh. It is in its animals, at the same time unbearably real and exquisitely unreal, that literature may today be closest to philosophy.This book's primary focus is the contemporary French novel and continental philosophy. In addition to Toussaint, Chevillard, NDiaye, and Darrieussecq, it engages the work of Jean de La Fontaine, Eadweard Muybridge, Edgar Allen Poe, Lewis Carroll, Samuel Beckett, and Francis Ponge.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Avant de passer dans le langage courant, donner le change désignait la ruse par laquelle un cerf traqué, brouillant la voie, en faisait courir un autre à sa place. Le temps d'une indistinction des corps, la proie se donnait en autre et par là s'échappait. Et si ce vertige au moment de la saisie, ce drame hallucinatoire de la scène de chasse animait encore secrètement nos textes À la pensée de Derrida viennent répondre ici Poe, Melville, Flaubert, Michaux, Cendrars et les archives de la vénerie. Aujourd'hui que donner le change n'est plus que métaphore, retrouver son sens oublié c'est mesurer l'obscur enjeu de cette capacité accordée jadis à l'être animal de déjouer nos comptes. Capacité peut-être de tout temps sue par la poésie, voire enfouie dans les plis du langage ordinaire: la rappeler, c'est repenser aussi bien ce qu'est le don, et le don du sens, que ce qu'est l'animal.…
