Bøger af William V. Spanos

This book is an autobiographical meditation on the way in which the world's population has been transformed into a society of refugees and emigres seeking -indeed, demanding- an alternative way of political belonging.

Reexamines Melville's monumental novel and turns the occasion into a meditation on the history and implications of canon formation. This book presents a view of the development of literary history in the United States, and a devastating critique of the genealogy of ideology in the American cultural establishment.

Preserving and honoring the intellectual voice that spoke with the urgency, generosity, and grace of the best of humanity

A timely intervention in the current debate surrounding the "politics" of Heidegger's philosophical thought.

Like so many soldiers of his generation, William V. Spanos was not much more than a boy when he went off to fight in World War II. Retrieving the singularity of the experience of war from the grip of official American cultural memory, Spanos recaptures something of the boy's life that he lost.
