Time, language, and visuality in Agamben's philosophy [electronic resource] /Jenny Doussan. - 1 online resource (xiv, 233 pages)

Includes bibliographical references (pages 223-228) and index.

That Obscure Object of Will -- 1. Taking Place: The Problem with Metaphysics -- 2. From Means Without End to the State of Exception -- 3. From the Meta- to the Para-: On Method -- 4. Cat and Mouse Game -- 5. Tabula Ocularia..

Giorgio Agamben, a philosopher both celebrated and reviled, is among the prominent voices in contemporary Italian thought today. His work, which touches upon fields as diverse as aesthetics and biopolitics, is often understood within a framework of Aristotelian potentiality. With this incisive critique, Doussan identifies a different tendency in the philosopher's work, an engagement with the problem of time that is inextricably bound up with language and visuality. Founded in his early writings on metaphysics and continuing to his present occupation with inoperativity, Time, Language and Visuality in Agamben's Philosophy forges an original path through Agamben's extensive commentary on the linguistic and the visual to illuminate the recurrent temporal theme of capture and evasion b7 sthe cat-and-mouse game-- that bears the foundational violence of not just representation but concept-formation itself. In the process, Doussan both reveals its limit and establishes a ground for future engagements.
