Genealogies of the Text by Jeffrey Mehlman
In this book, Jeffrey Mehlman dwells on the series of enigmas surrounding the Blanchot affair, in which one of the leading figures of contemporary French thought was shown to have been a prominent fascist journalist during the 1930s. Using this as a point of departure, Mehlman investigates the ideological and political connotations of similar literary material, shedding new light on the question of the usability of psychoanalysis for literary readings. The volume provides a provocative meditation on literature, ethics, and the experience of the French in World War I.
'.. heuristic value of Mehlman's approach is undeniable ...' Contemporary European History
