In Echolalias, Daniel Heller-roazen Reflects On The Many Forms Of Linguistic Forgetfulness. In Twenty-one Concise Chapters, He Moves Between Classical, Medieval, And Modern Culture, Exploring The Interrelations Of Speech, Writing, Memory, And Oblivion. Whether The Subject Is Medieval Literature Or Modern Fiction, Classical Arabic Poetry Or The Birth Of French Language, Structuralist Linguistics Or Freud's Writings On Aphasia, Heller-roazen Considers With Precision And Insight The Forms, Effects, And Ultimate Consequences Of The Persistence And Disappearance Of Language. In Speech, He Argues, Destruction And Construction Often Prove Inseparable. Among Speaking Communities, The Vanishing Of One Language Can Mark The Emergence Of Another, And Among Individuals, The Experience Of The Passing Of Speech Can Lie At The Origin Of Literary, Philosophical, And Artistic Creation.--jacket.
