Agonistics: Arenas of Creative Contest (SUNY series, The Margins of Literature) - Tapa dura

"The editors have staked out the domain of agonistics in their Introduction, tracing its various definitions from Nietzsche through Freud and Wittgenstein, to Derrida, Bloom, and Lyotard. They have also structured the individual analysis around four, well-balanced thematic focuses that broach agonistic creativity from a philosophic, psychoanalytic, narratological, and socio-sexual point of view. These focuses are to a large extent complementary, establishing a continous intertextual dialogue across the thematic separations." -- Marcel Cornis-Pope, Virginia Commonwealth University
