  • Political Fictions

    Richard TerdimanARTICLEYale French Studies2001

    Diderot died in 1784 and never wrote about the Revolution. Necessarily we see him from the other side of this epochal event. How might we relate to him today? Modernity and postmodernity have regularly been dazzled by Diderot. We have seen our contemporary preoccupations uncannily anticipated in his reflections and representations. Any reader of Jacques le fataliste can recognize just how much the antic textual practices with which Diderot was ex…

  • Present Past

    Richard TerdimanBOOKPresent Past1993

    This book is about memory—about how the past persists into the present, and about how this persistence has been understood over the past two centuries. Since the French Revolution, memory has been the source of an intense disquiet. Fundamental cultural theories have sought to understand it, and have striven to represent its stresses

  • The Response of the Other

    Richard TerdimanARTICLEdiacritics1992

    When someone departs, the security of being there together, in the network of paths which always have the possibility of crossing-ends. But another time begins, made of other sorts of excursions-more secret, more abstract or intellectual as one might say. These are traces of the things which we learn to seek through rational and academic paths, but in fact they cannot be separatedfrom chance,from fortuitous encounters,from a kind of knowing aston…

  • Discourse/Counter-Discourse

    Richard TerdimanBOOKDiscourse/Counter-Discourse1989

    Discourse/Counter-Discourse is situated on the border between cultural history and literary criticism: combining the insights of Marxism and semiotics, it attempts to delineate the cultural function of texts. Focusing on France during a period of remarkable cultural, social, and political transformation, Richard Terdiman examines both the dominant bourgeois discourse—novels, newspapers, and other mass forms of expression—and the effort of intelle…

  • Deconstructing Memory

    Richard TerdimanARTICLEdiacritics1985

    Memory is a theory machine. And theories are memory machines. In this essay I want to argue that there is a special intertwining between the problem of memory as we have experienced it since the French Revolution, and the forms and generation of cultural theory itself. And I want to make a simple claim: that like most of the mechanisms which determine the materiality of contemporary life-the memory and the theory machines geared up in the ninetee…
