Correspond a nces – Between Baudelaire and Heidegger
Correspondances – Between Baudelaire and Heidegger Susan Bernstein (bio) Heidegger's philosophy is a theory of correspondence. This claim is jarring. For was it not one of his projects, precisely, to criticize the correspondence theory of truth?1 The exchange of letters in my title is meant to invoke the French word — the title of what is perhaps Baudelaire's most famous sonnet — and thereby set up a relay between the notion of correspondence (fr…
A Return to the Common Reader
Bells and Spells
Bells and Spells" suggests that the feature of repetition, so often linked in a deprecating way with Gothic, is shared by Romanticism. The article explores the frequent apparition of repetition in typically "high" Romantic texts and shows how repetition tends to render impotent the language of transcendence usually associated with Romanticism. Readings of Novalis, Lord Byron, John Keats, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and Edgar Allan Poe indicate the poin…
The Dome of the Mind
The Dome of the Mind: Monticello in Weimar Susan Bernstein At the opening of Poe’s story, “The Fall of the House of Usher,” the narrator encounters a lugubrious double of Roderick Usher in the form of his house. The “vacant and eye-like windows” are remarked upon twice; the parallel is reinforced by the connection between the “minute fungi” growing in a “web-work” across the eaves and Roderick’s “web-like” hair, grown “all unheeded,” and even bet…

OCTOBER 122, Fall 2007, pp. 121–127. © 2007 October Magazine, Ltd. and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. On March 23, 2007, I spoke at an event sponsored by New York University, Columbia University, and the Slought Foundation commemorating Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe. Since, I believed, I had been invited to contribute “intellectual-autobiographical” remarks, I did not write out a text. There were a thousand ways in which I could have begun my …

It Walks
"Das Unheimliche"—the uncanny—has been with us for some time. Freud's famous essay began to attract critical attention in the early seventies as psychoanalysis became important in literary studies. Samuel Weber's essay, "The Sideshow, or: Remarks on a Canny Moment," first published in MLN in 1973 and reprinted in the expanded edition of The Legend of Freud in 2000, is now a classic in the literature of the uncanny. Reading Freud's essay "Das Unhe…

This title has been lifted from Nietzsche's Case of Wagner. A pithy remark, the phrase encapsulates a mass of aesthetic presuppositions and historical commonplaces that are invoked by the association of and Liszt. This paragraph of Nietzsche's text criticizes Wagner's spectacular side: Nietzsche writes, marches with drums and pipes at the head of all artists of delivery, of presentation, of virtuosity.I makes only a brief appearance in Nietzsche'…

Confessing Feminist Theory
Confessional modes of self-representation have become crucial in feminist epistemologies that broaden and contextualize the location and production of knowledge. In some versions of confessional feminism, the insertion of “I” is reflective, the product of an uncomplicated notion of experience that shuttles into academic discourse apersonal truth. In contrast to reflective intrusions of the first person, reflexive confessing is primarily a questio…
