Tractatus Logico-Suicidalis

More about the book

Bürger's "Tractatus Logico-Suicidalis" intertextually engages with the discourse of Améry. The analysis reveals how, in Bürger's work, the demands of a self-imposed understanding are subverted by the text itself. For instance, through reflections, the act of communicating displaces the message, and the conditions of a conventional communication model increasingly appear questionable.
