No Subject Experiences Twice

Professor Shaviro is an enviably versatile writer and scholar well versed in modern and contemporary philosophy, theory of film and new media, and cultural theory. The subjects of his publications range from canonical literary figures such as Emily Dickinson and Wallace Stevens to Hollywood movies, from aesthetics to cyberspace, from philosophy to science fiction, from the question of creativity to the issue of the dominance of financial capitalism. He has by far published six books: Passion and Excess: Blanchot, Bataille, and Literary Theory (1990), The Cinematic Body (1993), Doom Patrols: A Theoretical Fiction about Postmodernism (1997), Connected, or What It Means To Live in the Network Society (2003), Without Criteria: Kant, Whitehead, Deleuze, and Aesthetics (2009), and Post-Cinematic Affect (2010).
