Il libro prende le mosse dagli studi di Foucault per analizzare una pratica di veridizione che ha segnato profondamente l'Occidente, tanto da tradursi nella modalita attraverso la quale gli individui hanno trovato accesso alla propria soggettivita. Nel libro si appronta uno "scavo archeologico" al fine di riportare alla luce e studiare alcuni reperti che riguardano quegli atti di verita che nel Cristianesimo si sono articolati attorno a un sistema di norme che hanno portato gli individui a stabilire un rapporto di conoscenza permanente con se stessi. La progressiva generalizzazione di quest'obbligo, che ha inesorabilmente legato i soggetti al dovere morale di ricercare nel profondo della loro coscienza la verita segreta di se stessi, ha dato origine a un "regime di verita" che ha investito tutte le istituzioni,nella convinzione che la pratica della confessione fosse l'unico strumento possibile non solo per avere accesso alla verita e alla verita di noi stessi ma anche per poter accedere alla nostra liberta

Prefaced by an account of the early days of Berryman studies by bibliographer and scholar Richard J. Kelly, “After thirty Falls” is the first collection of essays to be published on the American poet John Berryman (1914-1972) in over a decade. The book seeks to provoke new interest in this important figure with a group of original essays and appraisals by scholars from Ireland, the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, and the United States. Exploring such areas as the poet’s engagements with Shakespeare and the American sonnet tradition, his use of the Trickster figure and the idea of performance in his poetics, it expands the interpretive framework by which Berryman may be evaluated and studied, and it will be of interest to students of modern American poetry at all levels. What makes the collection particularly valuable is its inclusion of previously unpublished material – including a translation of a poem by Catullus and excerpts from the poet’s detailed notes on the life of Christ – thereby providing new contexts for future assessments of Berryman’s contribution to the development of poetry, poetics, and the relationship between scholarship and other forms of writing in the twentieth century.
