Bøger af Elizabeth Rottenberg

This book is about what exceeds or resists calculation-in life and in death. Its two parts and nine chapters highlight, in their coupling of Freud and Derrida ("Freuderrida"), the accidents both in and of psychoanalytic writing, and the philosophical question of what limits the openness of our horizon.

This book is an exploration of the notion of "drive" as it passes from Kant's need of reason, to Freud's concept of hallucinatory wish fulfillment, to the relentless force of indifferentiation in Flaubert's Bouvard and Pecuchet.
