Abstract

The essays in this collection examine philosophical, religious, and literary or artistic texts using methodologies and insights that have grown out of reflection on literature and art. In them, them phrase “material spirit” becomes a point of departure for considering the continuing spectral effects of religious texts and concerns in ways that do not simply call for, or assume, new or renewed forms of religiosity. The writers in this collection seek to examine religion beyond traditional notions of transcendence: Their topics range from early Christian religious practices to global climate change. Some of the essays explore religious themes or tones in literary texts, for example, works by Wordsworth, Hopkins, Proust, Woolf, and Teresa of Avila. Others approach—in a literary critical mood—philosophical or para-philosophical writers such as Bataille, Husserl, Derrida, and Benjamin. Still others treat writers of a more explicitly religious orientation, such as Augustine, Rosenzweig, or Bernard of Clairvaux.

Abstract

This innovative work sets two separate texts by two different authors on facing pages. Both texts were written independently of one another. 'Boustrophedonic reading' refers to the way in which the text turns from left to right and from right to left. Black Holes by J. Hillis Miller discusses literary criticism in the US and analyses changes in the contemporary research university in the west. He concludes with sections on Trollope and Proust - case studies which exemplify 'otherness' in the work of two fundamentally dissimilar authors. Manuel Asensi's J. Hillis Miller, or Boustrophedonic Reading is a definitive and comprehensive interpretation of Miller's career, one that foregrounds its difference not only from the work of his associates but also from European methodologies of literary study. Although not intended to be a dialogue the two texts work together with Asensi 'stalking' Miller by use of quotation from Miller's own work. The result is a fascinating, humorous and inventive work.
