Breakdowns

The Destiny of the Twentieth Century. Edited by Jürgen Kleist and Bruce A. Butterfield. The book is a collection of ten scientific and three literary essays by scholars and artists who participated in the symposium "Breakdowns" at the State University of New York, College at Plattsburgh in March 1992. The essays address breakdowns of the twentieth century - in social, educational, political and economic spheres - and highlight the ebb and flow of incisive new theories and perspectives, focusing on the theory of Deconstruction in literature as one such emblematic shift.
