商品簡介
This volume explores irony as a rhetorical tool in modernism and discusses three modes of irony in the context of early German Romantic and idealist theories and how they create understanding of social and cultural phenomena, focusing on how post-Kantian philosophical logic becomes rhetorical. It then examines irony as an ethical phenomenon in early Romanticism, focusing on the ideas of Hegel, Nietzsche, Lacan, Freud, and Kierkegaard; the forms of narrative irony in novels, between the author-character and the reader, between the narrator and hero, and contextual irony, illustrated through works by Proust, Musil, Joyce, Thomas Mann, and others, and ironic procedures and genres like quotation, pastiche, and parody, as well as the use of autobiography; and irony in politics, focusing on post-Marxism, systems theory, the work of Carl Schmitt, Nietzsche, Bakhtin, Butler, Eichendorff, Mann, Rorty, Kafka, and Deleuze.
