Inhalt:
The 'place' in the title of Claudia Brodsky's remarkable new book is the intersection of language with building - the marking, for future reference, of material constructions in the world. The 'referent' Brodsky describes is not something first found in nature and then named but a thing whose own origin joins language with materiality, a thing marked as it is made to begin with. In the Place of Language develops a theory of the referent that is thus also a theory of the possibility of historical knowledge, one that undermines the conventional opposition of language to the real in theories of nominal ism and materialism alike, no less than it confronts the mystical conflation of language with matter, whether under the aegis of the infinite reproducibility of the image or the identification of language with 'Being'.The principal texts on which Brodsky bases her analysis are Goethe's Elective Affinities and Faust.
