Description:
The politics of literature is not the same as the politics of
writers and their commitments, nor does it concern the way writers
represent social structures or political struggles. The expression
'politics of literature' assumes that there is a specific
connection between politics as a form of collective practice and
literature as a historically determined regime of the art of
writing. It implies that literature intervenes in the parceling out
of space and time, place and identity, speech and noise, the
visible and the invisible, that is the arena of the political.
This book seeks to show how the literary revolution shatters the
perceptible order that underpinned traditional hierarchies, but
also why literary equality foils any bid to place literature in the
service of politics or in its place. It tests its hypotheses on
certain writers: Flaubert, Tolstoy, Hugo, Mallarmé, Brecht and
Borges, to name a few. It also shows the consequences of this for
psychoanalytical intepretation, historical narration and
philosophical conceptualization.
