Sisyphus, Outdone. Summary

Sisyphus, Outdone. by Nathanael

Here, Nathanael engages the catastrophal-photographic, translative, architectural-calling to the scene a discrepant combinatory of voices including Ingeborg Bachmann, Ludwig Wittgenstein, and Dmitri Shostakovich, to insist on the relational and seismic state of language and the image.

Sisyphus, Outdone. Reviews

Troubling borders separating disciplines, dividing countries, and distinguishing words, Nathanaels texts borrow meticulously and programmatically from other authors, literalizing the Barthesian tissue of quotations as they also draw incestuously from, and thus plicate, her own oeuvre. Each writing is thus in itself, and in relation to Nathanaels larger corpus, beset by the calculated vertigo of ecriture, as Nathanael enacts obsessive returns to a cluster of characteristic concerns, each time with a change of lens that profoundly informs her renewed scrutiny and its consequences.Judith Goldman, Postmodern Culture
