The Political Archive of Paul de Man: Property, Sovereignty and the Theotropic
Presents Paul de Man’s thinking to a contemporary politicised audience through original archival research
Taking de Man’s recently published manuscript Textual Allegories as a point of departure, 13 experts revisit de Man’s account of Rousseau in a ‘post-theoretical’ landscape concerned with political theology, occupied with the transformation of the western model of sovereignty, and faced with the apparent collapse of the capitalist global contract. The volume is framed by an introduction by Martin McQuillan and concludes with an original and previously unpublished text by Paul de Man on Nietzsche.
Key Features:
Presents the first published responses to a recently published de Man manuscript
Relates de Man’s work to key topics in contemporary Theory
Outstanding list of contributors including Etienne Balibar, Ellen Burt, Stephen Barker, Andrzej Warminski, Tom Cohen and J. Hillis Miller
First publication of a Paul de Man text on Nietzsche
