Series: Perspectives in Continental Philosophy

""Difference"" has been a term of choice in the humanities for the last few decades, animating an extraordinary variety of work in philosophy, literary studies, religion, law, the social sciences - indeed, in virtually every area of the academy. In projects ranging from deconstructive readings of canonical texts to a radical rethinking of the sacred, ""difference"" has been the node around which theorists have explored questions of conflict, power, identity, meaning, and knowledge itself in postmodern culture. At this point, what difference does ""difference"" make? In this imaginatively conceived book, Julian Wolfreys talks to thirteen leading scholars about the place of ""difference' in their own work, in their own field, and in their teaching. How has intellectual engagement with difference - its celebration of otherness and opposition, whether in a work of art or in world politics - shaped teaching, reading, and writing in today's colleges and universities? And at a time when identity politics and cultural critique have been institutionalized by the academy, has ""difference"" been domesticated?
