Biography

Jean-Michel Rabaté is Professor of English and Comparative Literature at the University of Pennsylvania and fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

"That the knot which ties literature and film to psychoanalysis is intimate and durable is the beautifully validated premise of this collection. Over the last century periodic attempts to sever this tie have been met with renewed, and often more vigorous, forms of attachment. In the face of today's post-critical calls for a definitive severance, the various essays assembled here demonstrate, in ways wily, rigorous, and robust, why this knot cannot be unloosed."
