Philosophy
The philosophical nature of the concept of the situation has too often been neglected or
overlooked altogether. Simpson has shown remarkable astuteness in identifying situated-
ness in our current discourse, in naming it and revealing its functions. This is a splendid
and unique contribution to our awakening from the Zeitgeist and its unconscious presup¬
positions.
—
Fredric Jameson, author of Postmodernism, or, The Cultural Locjic of Late Capitalism
An exciting work, phenomenally erudite, informative, shrewdly and scrupulously argued,
and very attractively written in vivid, non-jargony prose spiked with wry wit. Situatedness
makes a striking contribution to current debates in humanities and social science scholar¬
ship, and it will be a touchstone for theoretical commentary in a range of different fields for
a good while to come.
—
Christopher Herbert, Northwestern University
Let me tell you where I m coming from
. . . —
so begins many a discussion in contempo¬
rary U.S. culture. Pressed by an almost compulsive desire to situate ourselves within a
definite matrix of reference points (for example, as a parent of two children or as an
engineer or as a college graduate ) in both scholarly inquiry and everyday parlance, we
seem to reject adamantly the idea of a universal human subject. Yet what does this rhetoric
of self-affiliation tell us? What is its history? David Simpson s Situatedness casts a critical eye
on this currently popular form of identification, suggesting that, far from being a simple
turn of phrase, it demarcates a whole structure of thinking.
Simpson traces the rhetorical syndrome through its truly interdisciplinary genealogy.
Discussing its roles within the fields of legal theory, social science, fiction, philosophy, and
ethics, he argues that the discourse of situatedness consists of a volatile fusion of modesty
and aggressiveness. It oscillates, in other words, between accepting complete causal pre¬
determination and advocating personal agency and responsibility. Simpson s study neither
fully rejects nor endorses the present-day language of self-specification. Rather it calls
attention to the limitations and opportunities of situatedness
—
a notion whose ideological
slippage it ultimately sees as allowing late-capitalist liberal democracies to function.
David Simpson is G. B. Needham Fellow and Professor of English at the University of
California, Davis. His previous books include The Politics of American English and The Academic
Postmodern and the Rule of Literature.
