Description

This book is the first full-length study of Certeau's thought, designed as a guide to draw out not only the exceptional range but the overall coherence of his oeuvre. The author focuses on those intertexts that work most powerfully in Certeau's major writings: contemporary French historiography, the writings of early modern mystics and travelers, Michel Foucault and Pierre Bourdieu, Freud, the linguistics of "utterance," and a broad spectrum of work on contemporary cultural practices.

About the Author

This book would be a co-publication with Polity Press; Polity has not told us Jeremy Ahearne's affiliation.

Praise for Michel de Certeau: Interpretation and Its Other (Key Contemporary Thinkers)

“This is the first book in any language to deal comprehensively with the work of Michel de Certeau, the author of one of the most important, influential, and diverse bodies of scholarship and cultural theory to emerge from Europe during the exciting decades after the late Sixties. The book is a model in its genre.”—Richard Terdiman, University of California, Santa Cruz
