Description: "Godard Between Identity and Difference reads a series of Godard films as interventions in contemporary debates about the language of difference. In those films, Godard wants to preserve singularity and destroy visual and aural totalitarianism. How is it possible to speak about the Other? How is it possible for the Other to speak? Does all speaking about or by the Other render that speaking common, thereby rendering what is different identical? These questions gather together a number of issues that cross and intersect disciplinary boundaries: signification, representation, ethics, and politics."--Jacket.
