The Flesh of WordsThis new collection of challenging literary studies plays with a foundational definition of Western culture: the word become flesh. But the word become flesh is not, or no longer, a theological already given. It is a millennial goal or telos toward which each text strives. Both witty and immensely erudite, Jacques Rancire leads the critical reader through a maze of arrivals toward the moment, perhaps always suspended, when the word finds its flesh.
