Description

Dominick LaCapra (au). Author Dominick LaCapra maintains that the principal incentive for discussing Tocqueville & Foucault between the covers of the same book is that scholars working in the traditions of one of these important figures rarely read either the world of or commentary on the other. Such an exchange would be mutually beneficial & one of LaCapra’s goals is to initiate it, in good part because it might well lead to a re-examination of certain assumptions. Contents: Introduction; History, Reading, & Critical Theory; Rereading Tocqueville’s “Old Regime”; Rereading Foucault’s ‘History of Madness’; & Reconfiguring French Studies.
