Their approaches are very different from one another, but they each make unexpected interpretive leaps that render their readings exhilarating and unnerving. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBut do they go too far? Does a scribbled note left behind by Nietzsche really tell us about the nature of textuality? Can Hitchcock truly tell you \"everything you always wanted to know about Lacan\"? Does the blanket hung up in a motel room invoke the Kantian divide between the knowable phenomenal world and the unknowable things in themselves? Contextualizing the work of the five thinkers in the intellectual debates to which they contribute, this book analyzes the stakes and advantages of \"overreading.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eColin Davis is Professor of French at Royal Holloway, University of London.
