Does intertextuality consist of more than simple references by one text to another? In \u003cem\u003eImagining Joyce and Derrida\u003c\/em\u003e, Peter Mahon explores these questions through a comparative study of James Joyce's \u003cem\u003eFinnegans Wake\u003c\/em\u003e and the deconstructive texts of Jacques Derrida, with a particular emphasis on \u003cem\u003eGlas\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\nMahon's reading of these works insists on thinking through Derrida's 'Hegelian' manner of understanding Joyce. Using key texts of Vico, Kant, and Heidegger, Mahon develops a theoretical framework that allows him to theorize and re-conceptualize the intertextuality between Joyce and Derrida in terms of the imagination. In order to test the flexibility of this imaginative framework, Mahon applies it to a sustained comparison of \u003cem\u003eFinnegans Wake\u003c\/em\u003e and Derrida's under-appreciated masterwork, \u003cem\u003eGlas\u003c\/em\u003e. In so doing, Mahon reconfigures and expands the intertextual terrain between Joyce and Derrida beyond a simple catalogue of those instances where Derrida cites Joyce. Engaging and innovative, this erudite study makes an important contribution to literary critical theory.\n","brand":"By Peter Mahon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43575436673206,"sku":"9780802092496","price":64.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/4980\/0541\/files\/9780802092496.jpg?v=1727458766","url":"https:\/\/combined-academic.myshopify.com\/products\/imagining-joyce-and-derrida","provider":"Combined Academic Publishers - Mare Nostrum Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
