Content:
Without Mastery engages the pleasures and rigours of reading, invoking Shakespeare's Weird Sisters, Plato's Lady Necessity, Freud, Derrida, Cixous, animals, angels, ghosts and children to explore our desire for mastery - especially the omnipotence of thoughts. Masterful thinking has brought the planet into environmental crisis. The acquiescence of reading, Wood shows, allows us to make contact with the unthinkable. Key Features: * Provides a challenge and an alternative to 'masterful' or technical approaches to theory *Demonstrates that writing and power can work productively together *Draws on the power of poetry and fiction to help us think and puts this to work in the book's own practice of creative critical writing *Presents original new readings of canonical literary writers
