Focusing on the interregnum we have precariously occupied since the end of World War II--and especially after 9/11-- it constitutes a series of genealogical chapters that trace the author's journey from his experience as a prisoner of war in Nazi Germany to the horrific fire-bombing of Dresden in February 1945. In doing so, it explores his search for an intellectual vocation adequate to the dislocating epiphany he experienced in bearing witness to these traumatising events. Having subsequently lost faith in the logic of belonging perpetuated by the nation-state, Spanos charts how he began to look in the rubble of that zero zone for an alternative way of belonging: one in which the old binary --whose imperative was based on the violence of the Friend/enemy opposition-- was replaced by a paradoxical loving strife that enriched rather than negated the potential of each side. The chapters in this book trace this errant vocational itinerary, from the author's early undergraduate engagement with Kierkegaard and Heidegger to Cornel West, moving from that disclosive occasion in the zero zone to this present moment. William V. Spanos is Distinguished Professor Emeritus at Binghamton University (State University of New York), USA, and the founding editor of boundary 2:a journal of postmodern literature and culture which he edited from 1970-1987. He is the author of over hundred essays and many books on subject ranging from modernist and postmodernist literature, poststructuralist theory, and New Americanist studies. 000806616 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000806616 650_0 $$aLiterature. 000806616 650_0 $$aComparative literature. 000806616 650_0 $$aLiterature$$xPhilosophy. 000806616 650_0 $$aEuropean literature. 000806616 650_0 $$aAmerica$$xLiteratures. 000806616 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aSpanos, William V.$$tOn the Ethical Imperatives of the Interregnum : Essays in Loving Strife from Soren Kierkegaard to Cornel West.$$dCham : Springer International Publishing, ©2016$$z9783319478708 000806616 830_0 $$aPivotal Studies in the Global American Literary Imagination. 000806616 852__ $$bebk 000806616 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-47871-5$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000806616 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:806616$$pGLOBAL_SET 000806616 980__ $$aEBOOK 000806616 980__ $$aBIB 000806616 982__ $$aEbook 000806616 983__ $$aOnline 000806616 994__ $$a92$$bISE
