Haunted Words, Haunted Selves

Philosophy

“Campinas "Erudite as ever, this newest of Colby Dickinson's books takes a self-reflexive turn. Situated autobiographically, it wrestles to account for what has so far remained unrecounted in his writing in the wake of continental philosophy. Tracing unsettling emergencies of those repressed others that haunt philosophical, ecclesial, and cultural traditions, it seeks to reckon with the formative impact of the marginalized on collective and individual identity and contributes to the search for ways of knowing that resist the totalitarian force of empire.”
