| Zusammenfassung: | "In the late nineteenth century, psychologists and philosophers became intensely interested in the possibility of quantifying, measuring, and evaluating "intelligence," and using it to separate and compare individuals. Disarming Intelligence analyzes how this polyvalent term was consolidated and contested in competing discourses, from fin de siècle psychology and philosophy to literature, criticism, and cultural polemics around the First World War. Zakir Paul examines how Marcel Proust, Henri Bergson, Paul Valéry, and the critics of the influential Nouvelle revue française registered, negotiated, and subtly countered the ways intelligence was invoked across the political and aesthetic spectrum. For these writers, intelligence fluctuates between an individual, sovereign faculty for analyzing the world and something collective, accidental, and contingent. Disarming Intelligence shows how literary and critical styles questioned, suspended, and reimagined what intelligence could be by bringing elements of uncertainty and potentiality into its horizon. The book also explores interwar political tensions--from the extreme right to Walter Benjamin's engaged essays on contemporary French writers. Finally, a brief coda recasts current debates about artificial intelligence by comparing them to these earlier crises of intelligence. By drawing together and untangling competing conceptions of intelligence, Disarming Intelligence exposes its mercurial but influential and urgent role in literary and cultural politics." -- Back cover |

Disarming Intelligence analyzes how this polyvalent term was consolidated and contested in competing discourses, from fin de siècle psychology and philosophy to literature, criticism, and cultural polemics around the First World War. Zakir Paul examines how Marcel Proust, Henri Bergson, Paul Valéry, and the critics of the influential Nouvelle revue française registered, negotiated, and subtly countered the ways intelligence was invoked across the political and aesthetic spectrum. For these writers, intelligence fluctuates between an individual, sovereign faculty for analyzing the world and something collective, accidental, and contingent. Disarming Intelligence shows how literary and critical styles questioned, suspended, and reimagined what intelligence could be by bringing elements of uncertainty and potentiality into its horizon. The book also explores interwar political tensions--from the extreme right to Walter Benjamin's engaged essays on contemporary French writers. Finally, a brief coda recasts current debates about artificial intelligence by comparing them to these earlier crises of intelligence. By drawing together and untangling competing conceptions of intelligence, Disarming Intelligence exposes its mercurial but influential and urgent role in literary and cultural politics." -- Back cover Bergson, Henri 1859-1941 (DE-588)118509578 gnd rswk-swf Benjamin, Walter 1892-1940 (DE-588)118509039 gnd rswk-swf Valéry, Paul 1871-1945 (DE-588)118625985 gnd rswk-swf Proust, Marcel 1871-1922 (DE-588)118596799 gnd rswk-swf La nouvelle revue française (DE-588)4166302-0 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1870-1918 gnd rswk-swf Geistesgeschichte 1870-1918 gnd rswk-swf Literaturkritik (DE-588)4036020-9 gnd rswk-swf Französisch (DE-588)4113615-9 gnd rswk-swf Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 gnd rswk-swf Intelligenz (DE-588)4027251-5 gnd rswk-swf Intelligenztest (DE-588)4027254-0 gnd rswk-swf Philosophie (DE-588)4045791-6 gnd rswk-swf Criticism / France / History Intellect / History Intelligence tests / France / History Intellect in literature Intellect / Philosophy Proust, Marcel / 1871-1922 Valéry, Paul / 1871-1945 Benjamin, Walter / 1892-1940 Französisch (DE-588)4113615-9 s Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 s Literaturkritik (DE-588)4036020-9 s Philosophie (DE-588)4045791-6 s Intelligenz (DE-588)4027251-5 s Intelligenztest (DE-588)4027254-0 s Geistesgeschichte 1870-1918 z DE-604 Proust, Marcel 1871-1922 (DE-588)118596799 p Valéry, Paul 1871-1945 (DE-588)118625985 p Bergson, Henri 1859-1941 (DE-588)118509578 p Benjamin, Walter 1892-1940 (DE-588)118509039 p La nouvelle revue française (DE-588)4166302-0 u Geschichte 1870-1918 z Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe 978-0-691-26153-9 |
