http://schema.org/description

  • "Representation is the subject of this book, representation taken in a series of senses, from the formal and linguistic to the social and political. Representation poses a theoretical problem that can be located in the inconsistency between two vocabularies for compositional method: one positing a "centre of consciousness" (James's term), the other being a story of displaced agency and intermediaries, of deputies, delegates, and substitutes. What the center promises - that consciousness can be fully incarnated in a given character who will then constitute a foundation for meaning and truth in the novel - is exactly what the "delegate" acknowledges as an impossibility."
