Death Shall Be Dethroned: Los, a Chapter, the Journal
ISBN: 9781509500659 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 88 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Death Shall Be Dethroned is the -shadow book- of Los, a Chapter, HElEne Cixous tells us. It came along after Los, but it was always there -hidden- in her notebooks, in the Beethoven notebook, say, the one Jacques Derrida gave her. But when it tapped at the window, she ignored it until the day she had to let it in. This is just of one the enigmas Death explores as it probes an old relationship between the narrator and -Carlos.- Another is her discovery on the Internet that Carlos's archives were at Princeton, and that the archive containing their correspondence was closed to the public:...

Stigmata: Escaping Texts
ISBN: 9781138171022 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. A 'wilful extremist' according to the London Times, Hélène Cixous is hailed as one of the most formidable writers and thinkers of our time. Acclaimed by luminaries such as Jacques Derrida, her writing has nonetheless been misunderstood and misread, to a surprising extent. With the inclusion of Stigmata, one of her greatest works into the Routledge Classics series, this is about to change. Questions that have long concerned her – the self and the other, autobiographies of writing, sexual difference, literary theory, post-colonial theory, death and life – are explored here, woven...

Three Steps on the Ladder of Writing
ISBN: 9780231076593 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 162 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Three Steps on the Ladder of Writing is a poetic, insightful, and ultimately moving exploration of 'the strange science of writing.' In a magnetic, irresistible narrative, Cixous reflects on the writing process and explores three distinct areas essential for 'great' writing: The School of the Dead--the notion that something or someone must die in order for good writing to be born; The School of Dreams--the crucial role dreams play in literary inspiration and output; and The School of Roots--the importance of depth in the 'nether realms' in all aspects of writing....

Brilliant, bold, and combative, author of numerous novels and a gargantuan study of James Joyce, and sponsor of a series of notorious seminars at the University of Paris about women's writing, she has exploited the roles of femme fatale and maitresse d'education in a career that has been spectacularly defiant and productive. Sihanouk is one of Cixous's most ambitious projects: the dramatic portrayal of the conflicts between old and new, East and West, North and South, religion and politics. At its center...

Eve Escapes
ISBN: 9780745650975 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. "I get up every day with one day more," says Eve, the writer's 97-year-old mother. She is escaping into the New Life and the writer must race to catch up. As things slip away and fall into oblivion, as her mother's world and thus her own relentlessly shrinks, the writer is stunned to see for the first time the vestiges of a prison scene in her beloved Tower of Montaigne, which she has been visiting for fifty years. It represents the story of Cimon and Pero, a daughter's act of charity that saved her father from certain death. How extraordinary that it should only now appear to this other...

ISBN: 9780857420251 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In 1968-69 I wanted to die, that is to say, stop living, being killed, but it was blocked on all sides, wrote Helene Cixous, esteemed French feminist, playwright, philosopher, literary critic, and novelist. Instead of suicide, she began to dream of writing a tomb for herself. This tomb became a work that is a testament to Cixous s life and spirit and a secret book, the first book she ever authored. Originally written in 1970, "Tombe" is a Homerian recasting of Shakespeare s "Venus and Adonis" in the thickets of Central Park, a book Cixous provocatively calls the all-powerful-other of all my...

What especially does it mean for Jacques Derrida, founder of deconstruction, scoffer at boundaries and fixed identities, explorer of the indeterminate and undecidable?

In this memoir-novel, a narrator who resembles Helene Cixous obsessively recounts an incident-the premature death of her first born child, a Down's Syndrome baby left in the care of the clinic in Algeria where her midwife mother works. She uses this event to probe her family history and her relationship with her mother, a refugee from Nazi Germany; her dead father, after whom the baby is named; and her medical-student brother, who takes on some of the duties of a father figure. Cixous's elusive writing bears... The feminist writer explores the extreme borders of motherhood and humanity

The Portable Cixous
ISBN: 9780231145305 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Helene Cixous is more than an influential theorist. She is also a groundbreaking author and playwright. Combining an idiosyncratic mix of autobiographical and fictional narrative with a host of philosophical and poetic observations, Cixous's writing matches the kaleidoscopic nature of her thought, offering new ways of conceptualizing sex, relationships, identity, and the self, among other topics. Yet, as Jacques Derrida once observed, a "profound misunderstanding" hangs over the accomplishments of Cixous, with many believing the intellectual excelled only at theoretical exploration....

Insister of Jacques Derrida
ISBN: 9780804759083 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Helene Cixous is arguably the most insightful and unbridled reader of Jacques Derrida today. In Insister, she brings a unique mixture of scholarly erudition, theoretical speculation, and breathtaking textual explication to an extremely close reading of Derrida's work. At the same time, Insister is an extraordinarily poetic meditation, a work of literature and of mourning for Jacques Derrida the person, who was a close friend and accomplice of Cixous's from the beginning of their careers. In a melodic stream-of-consciousness Cixous speaks to Derrida, to his memory and to the...

Hyperdream
ISBN: 9780745642994 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Hyperdream is a major new novel by celebrated French author Helene Cixous. It is a literary tour de force, returning anew to challenge necessity itself, the most implacable of human certainties: you die in the end - and that's the end. For you, for me.
But what if? What if death did not inevitably spell the end of life?
Hyperdream invests this fragile, tentative suspension of disbelief with the sheer force of its poetic audacity, inventing a sort of magic telephone: a wireless lifeline against all the odds to the dearly...
