- Synopsis
- Strolling through literature and philosophy, Bruns (emeritus English, U. of Notre Dame) examines instances of writers losing their identity as humans, or at least talking about doing so. He discusses otherwise than human: toward sovereignty, what human recognition is: on zones of indistinction, desubjectivation: Michel Foucault's aesthetics of experience, becoming animal: some simple ways, and Derrida's cat: who am I?
