Modernism, forgetting, and the book of the heart
This article sketches a theory of modernist memory. Borges provides an entry-point for an exploration of the relation between forgetting and memory in modernism, from which I show that memory (as writing) would not be possible without blockages and failures of remembrance. My main contention is that absolute recall doubling as absolute forgetting in certain corpuses requires a mediation on the function of the ‘heart’ in modernism. This leads me t…
Is a Purloined Letter Just Writing? Burrowing in the Lacan-Derrida Archive
Starting from a recent book on Derrida and psychoanalysis, I return to the controversy between Lacan and Derrida in the 1970s. Its focus was the letter as interpreted by Lacan in a commentary of Poe’s “Purloined Letter”. While agreeing with some of Derrida’s objections, I conclude that Lacan makes stronger points about the destination of the letter. I give my own example, Kafka’s “Letter to the Father” in order to argue that one can state that “a…
Expliquer l’inexplicable
Partant d’une proposition de chapitre envoyée par Franz Kaltenbeck sur la dimension écrite du symptôme et ses traces dans les textes littéraires, cet essai se limite à une lecture originale de Kafka. Kaltenbeck montre comment Kafka se sert de l’analyse freudienne sur le mot d’esprit pour annoncer ses thèses sur le tiers dans la mélancolie. De plus il révèle que le symptôme peut déboucher sur la découverte de la pulsion de mort dans la vie. Kalten…
Psychoanalysis
This article explores the relationship of decadence and psychoanalysis in the work of four major figures: Max Nordau, Sabina Spielrein, Georg Groddeck, and Italo Svevo. Sigmund Freud and Nordau agreed on the need to launch a scientific psychology but disagreed on the relative function of disease and health in culture, the latter famously explored in Nordau’s Entartung (Degeneration; 1892–1893). Spielrein’s “Destruction as the Cause of Becoming” (…

Coetzee and Psychoanalysis
In this chapter, Jean-Michel Rabaté complicates the opposition between literature and philosophy by exploring Coetzee’s transactions with psychoanalysis, particularly through Lacanian or Derridian ways of thinking about Freudian theories. In his wide-ranging exploration of the literature of psychoanalysis in relation to Coetzee’s oeuvre, and the traditions and backgrounds which resonate with his work, Rabaté emphasizes the porous boundaries betwe…
Farewell to Christine Brooke-Rose
If I had to define one virtue, one characteristic to name in order to define Christine Brooke-Rose, I would borrow the term that she took over from Ezra Pound: ‘Sinceritas.’ in principio
The Future of Literary Thinking
All good writing takes us somewhere uncomfortable. One of the great services given by Textual Practice over the past 30 years has been to create a comfortable place for uncomfortable criticism. Yet right now, it is not writing but the world itself that is proving incommodious. What should criticism be doing in a political culture that has embraced hostility

Par-dessus le marché »
Partant de l’expression « par-dessus le marché », telle que Derrida l’utilise dans une conversation avec l’artiste coréenne Soun-Gui Kim au sujet des apories et paradoxes créés par notre marché mondial de l’art, j’examine la logique de cette expression idiomatique qui fonctionne comme un performatif ekphrastique, posant à la fois l’excès et son excès. Ceci se relie au silence qui accompagne le dévoilement de la vérité dans et par l’art. Soun-Gui …
The Cambridge Companion to Irish Modernism
The story of Irish modernism constitutes a remarkable chapter in the movement's history. This volume serves as an incisive and accessible overview of that brilliant period in which Irish artists not only helped to create a distinctive nationalist literature but also changed the face of European and anglophone culture. This Companion surveys developments in modernist poetry, drama, fiction and the visual arts. Early innovators, such as Oscar Wilde…

Character, Courage or Conceit
Form is the highest judge of life. Form-giving is a judging force, an ethic; there is a value-judgment in everything that has been given form. Every kind of form-giving, every literary form, is a step in the hierarchy of lifepossibilities[.] Georg Lukacs, ‘The Metaphysics of Tragedy: Paul Ernst’ 1 Taking Virginia Woolf’s statement that ‘on or about December 1910 human character changed’ as a point of departure, the loaded term is ‘character’. Alt…
Three 'Jacques' for one 'Hélène' (or, how to build a Gnomon with No-One)
Starting from the various ways in which the name of James Joyce is evoked in Cixous's critical books and essays, I sketch her unique position as a writer between psychoanalysis (with Jacques Lacan) and philosophy (with Jacques Derrida). If James Joyce's last name can be translated as 'Freud' in German, if his first name can be variously Jim, James or even Jacques, then we may translate him into French as Jacques Joyeux. Taking my cue from varying…

Des lectures de Joyce, oui
Partant d’anciennes discussions avec Jacques Derrida sur Finnegans Wake en 1969-1970, discussions qui ressortissaient d’un contexte critique où figuraient la phénoménologie mais aussi Tel Quel et Bakhtine, l’auteur réouvre le dossier Joyce dans les premiers essais de Derrida. Joyce aura toujours été lu par Derrida, et systématiquement pressenti, alors qu’il préparait ses thèses littéraires et philosophiques initiales, comme le rival de Husserl : …
James Joyce and the Politics of Egoism
In James Joyce and the Politics of Egoism, first published in 2001, a leading scholar approaches the entire Joycean canon through the concept of 'egoism'. This concept, Jean-Michel Rabaté argues, runs throughout Joyce's work, and involves and incorporates its opposite, 'hospitality', a term Rabaté understands as meaning an ethical and linguistic opening to 'the other'. For Rabaté both concepts emerge from the fact that Joyce published crucial tex…

A Portrait of the Artist as a Bogeyman
Pound populiste
It is important to decide whether Pound can be called a « populist », not only in order to gain a correct ideological perspective on the work of the greatest American poet of this century, but also because such a decision may oblige to redefine the meaning of Populism at large. Pound's statements, which connect his populism to the story of his family, may be very misleading. There are very few traces of real Populism in his efforts to create his …
