"Production of Presence" is a comprehensive version of the thinking of Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht. It offers a personalized account of some of the central theoretical movements in literary studies and in the humanities over the past 30 years, together with an equally personal view of a possible future. Based on this assessment of the past and the future of literary studies and the humanities, the book develops the provocative thesis that, through their exclusive dedication to interpretation, i.e. to the reconstruction and attribution of meaning, the humanities have become incapable of addressing a dimension in all cultural phenomena that is as important as the dimension of meaning. Interpretation alone cannot do justice to the dimension of "presence", a dimension in which cultural phenomena and cultural events become tangible and have an impact on our senses and our bodies. "Production" of Presence is a passionate plea for a rethinking and a reshaping of the intellectual practice within the humanities.

Industry Reviews

"...Production of Presence is focused and persuasive. [It} reflect[s] the intellectual, and physical, journey of a courageous and versatile thinker." - Southern Humanities Review
