  • Experimenting

    Susan Bernstein, Peter Fenves et al.BOOKExperimenting2022

    The work of Samuel Weber has greatly influenced writers and thinkers across the arts and humanities: including literary, critical, and cultural theory; media, communication, theater, and cultural studies; new media and technology; psychoanalysis; and philosophy. His remarkable and inaugural texts have been especially important to the deconstructive tradition, given his early recognition of the importance of the writings of Jacques Derrida. Taught…

  • Correspond a nces – Between Baudelaire and Heidegger

    Susan David Bernstein, Susan BernsteinARTICLEModern Language Notes2015Cited by: 1

    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…

  • Bells and Spells

    Susan David Bernstein, Susan BernsteinARTICLEdifferences2010References: 5

    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

    Susan David Bernstein, Susan BernsteinARTICLEModern Language Notes2008

    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

    Susan David Bernstein, Susan BernsteinARTICLEModern Language Notes2003Cited by: 1

    "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'…
