  • Theology and the Imagination

    Geoffrey H Hartman, Geoffrey HartmanARTICLEThe Jewish Quarterly Review2013

    Levinas has said that Judaism is a religion for adults. He said this not to disparage other religions but in the context of valuing the Talmudic/midrashic mode of commentary and law-finding. In Midrash, he claims, reason recognizes itself. My argument here is that imagination too should recognize itself, in all religions. For illustration this essay chooses a basic theological constant, the story of Creation. It is my hope that when theology's im…

  • Psychoanalysis as a Cultural Ideal: Form Feeling” in Freud’s Essay on Gradiva

    Geoffrey H Hartman, Geoffrey HartmanARTICLEAmerican imago2008

    The literary quality of Freud’s prose is generally acknowledged, and his case histories have the allure of novellas. The present essay explores what Freud himself, in a letter to Fliess, called “form feeling” ( Formgefühl ). Focusing mainly on his Gradiva commentary, the author argues that this form sensitivity has not only presentational importance but is deeply involved in the revisionary cultural aims of the new science of psychoanalysis. Freu…

  • The Passing of the Canon

    Geoffrey H Hartman, Geoffrey HartmanCHAPTERPleasure and Change2006

    This chapter focuses on the response of Geoffrey Hartman to Frank Kermode's lectures. Hartman questions the role of pleasure set forth by Kermode. He criticizes the use of the term pleasure as “problematic or abysmal” and “remains descriptively poor when thematized this way.” Hartmann then discusses his own interpretation of Wordsworth's “Resolution and Independence” and moves on to suggest that a way of approaching the discussion on canon format…

    B Mch, Patricia A Parker et al.ARTICLEPoetics Today1987

    The theoretical ferment which has affected literary studies over the last decade has called into question traditional ways of thinking about, classifying and interpreting texts. Shakespeare has been not just the focus of a variety of divergent critical movements within recent years, but also increasingly the locus of emerging debates within, and with, theory itself. This collection of essays, written by distinguished and powerful critics in the f…

    Robert Moynihan, Geoffrey H Hartman et al.ARTICLEboundary 21980

    Hartman: I'm not sure that I complain about it. I show that there is a difference of traditions, that in the case of Anglo-American criticism or style of thought as it has developed through the academy, there is a greater emphasis on a certain kind of pedagogical decorum. Whereas in Europe, although that is a large generalization, there seems to be more flexibility in terms of audience or style of thought. Clearly, there is a university style in …

    ONFESSION. have a superiority complex vis-a-vis other critics, and an inferiority complex vis-a-vis art. The interpreter, molded on me, is an overgoer with pen-envy strong enough to compel him into the foolishness of print. His self-disgust is merely that of the artist, intensified. Joe, throw my book away. Sometimes his discontent with the secondary act of writing-with living in the reflective or imitative sphere-makes him privilege some primary…

  • Adam on the Grass with Balsamum

    Geoffrey H Hartman, Geoffrey HartmanARTICLEELH1969

    This is a curious first image. Reeking need not have the pejorative sense it bears today,2 but the picture of the sun feeding on man's sweat is startling enough. If it is a conceit on evaporation3 one wonders about the decorum of introducing it at a point which is the inaugural moment of human consciousness. If it stresses the place of the sun, its subordination to man who is the Heir of the World
