Stphane Moss Displacements

Stphane Moss explores in Displacements the poetry of Paul Celan and the work of major German-Jewish thinkers in the context of his distinction between normative and critical modernity. The first part contains a translation of his book Approches de Paul Celan, the third part a translation of his lecture series Figures philosophiques de la modernit juive, and the central section contains, alongside a text on Freud, essays on Goethe and Bchner that extend his analysis beyond the Jewish sphere while engaging with the questions of tradition and its fragmentation that he raises there.
