Review
Martin Jay, a professor of History at U.C. Berkeley, has compiled in
Cultural Semantics a series of diverse essays dealing with the
intersection between history and semiotics, and although this general
theme is not always clear in every piece, the various topics are still
compellingly approached.The essays, ranging from the esoteric
("Mimesis and Mimetology: Adorno and Lacoue-Labarthe") to the familiar
("European Intellectual History and the Spectre of Multiculturalism")
are often rigorous analyses of the meaning and usage of certain words,
and how these words are explored within an academic and cultural
discourse. The more successful essays tend to be the ones in which Jay
allows himself the room for an expanded argument, as in his piece
about Walter Benjamin's theory of experience, which Jay contends might
be confirmed in a genre largely ignored by Benjamin, the modern novel.
At times wry, particularly when he writes about the cult of
personality with respect to certain female scholars and how they often
present an alternative and equally valid means of argumentation within
the academic dialectic, Jay is always a careful and elegant writer.
The subject matter might be too obscure for the general reader, but
this collection is a strong addition to the field of contemporary
linguistic criticism. -- From Independent Publisher --This text refers

Product Description
A leading intellectual historian explores some of the reigning
assumptions and imperatives of our age. By looking closely at what
"words do and perform", Martin Jay makes us aware of the extent to
which the language we use mediates and shapes our experience.
Elegantly written and richly insightful, this is a work of cultural
criticism and intellectual analysis of the first order.
