SOLICITATIONS: ESSAYS ON CRITICISM & CULTURE
by Louis Armand
Prague: Litteraria Pragensia, 2005
ISBN 80-239-5045-2
331pp. includes index

The topics addressed in these essays range from
laissez-faire economics and the state of contemporary
culture, to the foundations of ethical philosophy.
Commencing with an analysis of the rhetoric of
"crisis," Armand poses questions of central concern to
the future of criticism and the institutions of
knowledge. Focusing upon the role of technology in
re-shaping the structures of human experience,
language and cultural practice, this collection of
essays offers a broad, yet focused and sustained,
critique of the legacies of modernity and beyond.

Adopting the critical paradigm of solicitation, Armand
demonstrates how structure is perceived through an
incidence of crisis, and that these crises are
pervasive in human experience.

The essays included in this volume address the work of
specific writers, philosophers, artists, as well as
broader issues of history, futurity and the digital
age. Jacques Derrida, James Joyce, Julia Kristeva,
Walter Benjamin, Karl Jaspers are read alongside
Buckminster Fuller, Marshall McLuhan, Ted Nelson,
John Dewey, as well as recent and contemporary artists
such as John Cage, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Cy Twombly,
Michael Dransfield and John Kinsella.
