Title: Body and story
Description: "In Body and Story Richard Terdiman explores the tension between what have seemed two fundamentally different ways of understanding the world: as directly experienced physical reality and as representation in language. In demonstrating the historically more complicated relationship between these two conceptions, he also offers a new approach to the problem of conflicts between irreconcilable but equally compelling theoretical ideas."--Jacket.
