Robert Boncardo investigates how Stéphane Mallarmé, one of modernity’s most ingenious yet obscure poets, became an object of major political significance for French intellectuals. He asks how this most refined and seemingly aristocratic of poets became the writer of choice for leftist intellectuals and reflects on the ambivalent relation between literature and its political destiny in modernity. With in-depth studies of Jean-Paul Sartre, Julia Kristeva, Alain Badiou and Jacques Rancière, along with shorter analyses of Jean-Claude Milner and Quentin Meillassoux, he situates Mallarmé within the philosophical and political projects of some of France’s greatest thinkers.
Robert Boncardo is Sessional Tutor in the Faculty of Theology and Philosophy at Australian Catholic University. He completed his doctorate in French Studies at the University of Sydney and Aix-Marseille Université.
