Edward Said's Translocations: Essays in Secular Criticism by Tobias Doring (Engl

Description: Edward Said's Translocations by Tobias Doring, Mark U. Stein This book brings into focus Saida (TM)s politics of reading from his literary criticism in English to his political columns in Arabic. The international contributors — from Britain, Egypt, France, Germany, India, Switzerland, and the United States — look at his intellectual legacies without necessarily identifying themselves with the critical positions these involve. Instead of treating his work as a unitary theoretical system, the various arguments explored offer a critical assessment of those situations in which his writing has entered into a productive relationship with external theoretical positions and interlocutors. The collection considers location, which has always been a central category in and for Said's writing; readings, which designates the acts by which, according to Said, the world comes to be constituted; and legacies, which pertains to the many fields, across the boundaries of established academic disciplines, in which Said's challenges have been taken up.
