Contents:

The literary theory of mise en abyme and its philosophical meaning -- Jacque Derrida : mise en abyme and the logic of supplementarity -- Maurice Blanchot : heading towards death as mise en abyme -- Gilles Deleueze : repetition and time as mise en abyme -- Mise en abyme as a paradigm shift I : from mirror to "labyrinth of mirrors" -- Mise en abyme as a paradigm shift II : from play to "divine play" -- The rhizomatic book and the centrifugal mise en abyme.

Summary: "Mise en abyme is a term from literary theory denoting a work that doubles itself within itself, for example a story placed within a story or a play within a play. Proliferating in experimental fiction in midcentury France, this technique had a strong impact on contemporary literary theory, but also, as this book project argues, on post-Heideggerian and post-structuralist philosophy. The Little Crystalline Seed focuses on how three of these thinkers invoke the concept of mise en abyme in order to establish ontologies that deviate from that of Heidegger. Iddo Dickmann demonstrates how the concept served in modeling Derrida's logic of supplementarity, Blanchot's philosophy of "ambiguity" and mechanism of Désouvrement, and Deleuze's philosophy of difference, time and repetition. Exploring the interpretative and generative potential of the mise en abyme for continental thought, Dickmann illustrates points of resonance between various philosophical topics such as aesthetics, ethics, time, logic, mirroring, play, and signification"-- Provided by publisher.
