Despite Kluge's five decades of work in philosophy, literature, television, and media politics, his reputation outside of the German-speaking world still largely rests on his films of the 1960s, 70s, and 80s. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith the aim of introducing Kluge's heterogeneous mind to an Anglophone readership, \u003ci\u003eDifference and Orientation\u003c\/i\u003e assembles thirty of his essays, speeches, glossaries, and interviews, revolving around the capacity for differentiation and the need for orientation toward ways out of catastrophic modernity. This landmark volume brings together some of Kluge's most fundamental statements on literature, film, pre- and post-cinematic media, and social theory, nearly all for the first time in English translation. Together, these works highlight Kluge's career-spanning commitment to unorthodox, essayistic thinking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eTranslator Information\u003cbr\u003e List of Illustrations\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgment\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePart I: Introduction\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eThe Guardian of Difference: The Essayist Alexander Kluge by Richard Langston, by Richard Langston\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePart II: Literature\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e1.
