Product Description

The work of the French literary review, intellectual grouping and publishing team Tel Quel had a profound impact on the formation of literary and cultural debate in the 1960s and 70s. Its legacy has had enormous influence on the parameters of such debate today. From its beginning in 1960 to its closure in 1982, it published some of the earliest work of Jacques Derrida, Julia Kristeva, Michel Foucault and Roland Barthes. It was also associated with some of the key ideas of the French avant-garde, publishing key articles by Georges Bataille and Antonin Artaud.
The Tel Quel Reader presents for the first time in English the key essays written by the Tel Quel group. Essays by Julia Kristeva, one of the review's editor's Michel Foucault, and a fascinating interview with Roland Barthes are here made available for the first time in English. It provides a unique insight into the post-structuralist movement and presents some of the pioneering essays on literature and culture, film, semiotics and psychoanalysis.
Assembling key essays from over a twenty-year period, The Tel Quel Reader is an indispensible resource for students of literature, cultural and visual studies, philosophy and French studies.

First Sentence
Perhaps it is too early, although already possible, to precisely date the efficiency and the force with which a general theoretical thrust has become evident around a certain number of decisive concepts, reexamined, echoed or constructed over the last few years. Read the first page

Tel Quel, such as it was 11 Mar 2012
By Elizabeth Cameron - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase
A marvelous and difficult work with two masterful essays by Julia Kristeva, which I'm still working on. Not an easy read but worth it if you're into critical theory. I wish they would have included A-M Houdebine. Worth buying.

the writer 23 April 2004
By alexander laurence - Published on Amazon.com
Affective criticism would also be able to critique Paradise because it shares the idea of "indeterminacy" which may be a question that Sollers raises. It is significant that Harry Mathews insists that the reader is the real creator instead of the writer, for the reader lets the book exist once again. Everything that Affective criticism stands for is to make the reader more involved with the text. Wolfgang Iser says "Communication it literature, then, is a process set in motion and regulated, not by a given code, but by a mutually restrictive and magnifying interaction between the explicit and the implicit, between revelation and concealment." Some of the problems with an Affective reading are that we bring to much of ourselves, our psychology, to make words mean. Would a book be different if one was tired, happy, or angry? Derrida and Sollers would be against anyone who interjects themselves in the narrative, in the chaos of play, rather than letting a system (text) play out its wishes on the reader. To read a passage like this one by Sollers, one must give up their self-identity for the moment.
