On the Commerce of Thinking

Of Books and Bookstores

Übersetzer: Wills, David

Beschreibung

Celebrates the particular communication of thoughts that takes place by means of the business of writing, producing, and selling books. This book features a semiology of the cultural practice that begins with the character of the writer's voice and culminates in a customer's crossing the bookstore threshold, package under arm, on the way home.

Autor

Jean-Luc Nancy (1940-2021) was Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at the Université de 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. His book The Intruder was adapted into an acclaimed film by Claire Denis. David Wills is Professor of French Studies and Comparative Literature at Brown University. His major work, on the originary technicity of the human, is developed in three books: Prosthesis (Stanford, 1995), Dorsality (Minnesota, 2008), and Inanimation (Minnesota, 2016). He has translated various works by Jacques Derrida, including the forthcoming Theory and Practice (Chicago, 2018).
