Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. "Inscribing the Other is breathtaking in its scope and detail. It will become many readers' favorite book."--Stanley Corngold, author of The Fate of the Self: German Writers and French Theory. "Steeped in erudition and discernment."--Avital Ronell, author of The Telephone Book: Technology--Schizophrenia--Electric Speech. Inscribing the Other focuses on great authors who have by birth or choice (or both) found themselves outside the mainstream of their culture but who have still wished to address it: Goethe, Freud, Wilde, Heine, Nietzsche, and Isaac Bashevis Singer, among others. In thirteen probing, provocative essays Sander L. Gilman reinterprets their writing as it reveals their efforts to come to terms with their real or imagined sense of difference. The chapters treat many themes and problems, ranging widely from the romantic notion of the transcendent artist to the twentieth-century artists-in-exile, and employing the perspectives of psychiatry, aesthetics, photography, politics, and the history of mentalities. The fate of Jewish writers in modern Germany, or of Yiddish writers whose language is devalued in European culture, is explored.The theme of difference and its artistic and intellectual manifestations runs throughout the book, which includes discussions of Goethe's and Wilde's homosexuality, Nietzsche's madness, Heine's refusal to be photographed, and Primo Levi's internment at Auschwitz, as well as an interview with Singer.In a frank autobiographical introduction, Gilman attempts to understand his own writing as an exercise in "inscribing the Other," in dealing with is own sense of difference through artistic creation. Sander L. Gilman, Goldwin Smith Professor of Human Studies at Cornell University, is the author of such books as Conversations with Nietzsche, Oscar Wilde's London, and Disease and Representation, all published in 1988, and Sexuality: An Illustrated History (1989). Focuses on great authors who have by birth or choice (or both) found themselves outside the mainstream of their culture but who have still wished to address it: Goethe, Freud, Wilde, Heine, Nietzsche, and Isaac Bashevis Singer, among others. This title reveals their efforts to come to terms with their real or imagined sense of difference.
