Omschrijving
Expectation is a collection of critical texts on literature written between 1977 and 2012 and now made available for the first time in English.
"Expectation stages a courtship between philosophy and literature that has never been presented with such wit, grace, and finesse. What's more, this intense courtship leads to a marriage blessed with specific offspring: Nancy's book offers both an epithalamium and a pregnant poetics, a poetics of awakening and emergence-poetics as obstetrics ushering in new 'senses' in and of the world, plus strong and luminescent poems never seen in English before." -- from Jean-Michel Rabate's Introduction
Jean-Luc Nancy (1940–2021) was Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at the Universite Marc Bloch, Strasbourg and one of the late twentieth and early twenty-first century’s foremost thinkers of politics, art, and the body. His wide-ranging thought runs through many books, including Being Singular Plural, The Ground of the Image, Corpus, The Disavowed Community, and Sexistence. Robert Bononno has translated more than two dozen books, both fiction and nonfiction, and numerous shorter pieces. His translation of René Crevel’s My Body and I was a finalist for the 2005 French-American Foundation Prize. He received NEA grants in 2002 and 2010 and has taught translation and terminology at New York University and the City University of New York Graduate Center.
