  • The catastrophic imperative : subjectivity, time and memory in contemporary thought
    Evoking the contemporary Zeitgeist of looming ecological, political and economic disaster, The catastrophic imperative brings together a distinguished group of thinkers who invite a compelling ... reconsideration of the ways we, as representing subjects, might be more deeply implicated in catastrophic events than we ordinarily imagine. From their individual historical, philosophical, psychoanalytic and literary perspectives, the contributors collectively put a non-eschatological thought of catastrophe to task. What emerges from this forcing ground is a logic that undermines our habitual understanding of causality, charging us with the disconcerting responsibility not to prevent but, in Jean Dupuy's immortal words, to render the catastrophe unavoidable.
