Ideology, rhetoric, aesthetics : for De Man
\"This volume explicates Paul de Man's late project of a critique of aesthetic ideology and attempts to extend it in ways productive for critical thought. After a reading of de Man's work in all its rigour - and hence also the aesthetic theory of Kant, Schiller, and Hegel- the book goes on to uncover a 'material moment' in Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit that lives on in Marx and in the Marxist tradition. The book also elucidates de Man's critical reading of Heidegger on the example of Hölderlin--a moment essential for de Man's shifts to the question of rhetoric and then to the question of ideology--and ends with a reading of Derrida's 'last' text on de Man and its uncanny self-inscription in Rousseau's episode of the stolen ribbon. Key Features: Rigorous explications of Paul de Man's late work on aesthetic ideology and the political ; New readings of Kant, Schiller, and Hegel that extend de Man's project ; Demonstrates how a certain already 'Marxian' self-undoing of Hegelian dialectics leaves traces in Kojève and in Marxists like Lukács and Jameson ; Presents accounts of disagreements and altercations between de Man and Heidegger and de Man and Derrida.\"--Publisher's website.

Resistances to Rhetoric
Taking its point of departure from Paul de Man’s “The Resistance to Theory,” this essay would demonstrate that a certain resistance to the rhetorical or tropological dimension of language inhabits the work even of two theorists—Jakobson and Genette—keenly aware of this dimension and who explicitly put it to work in their theoretical projects.

As It Were Face to Face: A Reading of Geoffrey Hartman’s “Via Naturaliter Negativa”
Taking as its point of departure an analysis of the tri-partite dialectical structure of the “Via Naturaliter Negativa” chapter of Wordsworth’s Poetry, this essay then seeks to show how the dialectical pattern is shadowed by another pattern of development, the two-stage Pauline scheme of figure and fulfillment. If within the dialectical scheme, the rising up of the Imagination in Book VI (“VIb”) functions as a negative moment of pure self-consciousness, within the typological scheme, it is a figure whose terms are fulfilled or actualized in VIc (the Ravine of Gondo passage) or alternatively with Snowdon; in both cases, however, it is a question of reinscribing VIb within a progressive movement. At the same time, Hartman’s emphasis on the divergence between VIb’s position in the compositional sequence and the narrative sequence isolates the Imagination passage neither as a moment of absolute self-consciousness nor as a pre-figuration but rather as Wordsworth’s coming “face to face” with his own text.
