万书辉先生的专著《文化文本的互文性书写:齐泽克对拉康理论的解释》是他在最近几年里潜心研究齐泽克的力作。这是目前中国大陆部全面系统研究齐泽克学术思想的专著。可以肯定的是,这部专著的价值不仅在于其开创性,还在于它在大量占有英文文献资料和汉语文献资料的基础上,寻找到了一个独特而有效的研究齐泽克的切入点:文化文本的互文性书写。他试图从一个中国学术界、乃至西方学术界尚未有太多关注的角度,去对极为复杂而又充满魅力的齐泽克的学术思想进行汉语语境中的解读。

Review 'Twenty years ago, if you wanted to know where literary theory was at, I'd say semiotics, and Culler's Pursuit of Signs was the best way to see the links. Today? Same answer. Overview, criticism, problems and solutions: Culler offers them all in each chapter, on key topics and questions of the humanities. The book has the same urgency and acuity that it had then. Except that, with the interdisciplinary turn taking hold, literary theory itself, through this book, becomes a much more widespread tool for cultural analysis.'

But it can be felt still more basically [in] the current revival of interest in psychoanalysis... the desire for a return to origins which is a common factor in so many avenues of modern thought.' - The Times Literary Supplement Ecrits is the essential source for anyone who seeks to understand this seminal thinker and his influence on contemporary thought and culture.
Edmund Burke’s Philosophical Enquiry into the Origin of our Ideas of the Sublime and Beautiful is one of the most important works of aesthetics ever written. Whilst many writers have taken up their pen to write of ‘the beautiful’, Burke’s subject here was that quality he uniquely distinguished as ‘the sublime’ – an all-consuming force beyond beauty that compelled terror as much as rapture in all who beheld it. It was an analysis that would go on to inspire some of the leading thinkers of the Enlightenment, including Immanuel Kant and Denis Diderot. The Routledge Classics edition presents the authoritative text of the first critical edition of Burke’s essay ever published, including a substantial critical and historical commentary.
