Description: |
Through an analysis of the three, interrelated topics of translation, comedy and gender in the works of Samuel Beckett and others, Weller reflects critically upon recent attempts to think the relation between literature and alterity, and proposes a new understanding of that relation in what he terms its 'anethicality'. |
Synopsis: |
In Beckett, Literature and the Ethics of Alterity Weller argues through an analysis of the interrelated topics of translation, comedy, and gender that to read Beckett in this way is to miss the strangely 'anethical' nature of his work, as opposed to the notion that the literary event constitutes the affirmation of an alterity. |
