James Helgeson (French, University of Nottingham):
There is a special issue on Wittgenstein in the journal Paragraph, which I
edited and which appeared in November 2011. The issue concentrates largely,
although not entirely, on Wittgenstein’s French reception, and contains
articles by articles by Jacques Bouveresse, Sandra Laugier and Garry Hagberg,
among others. (It is worth noting in particular that Maria Rusanda Muresan’s
article in this issue, on Wittgenstein and recent French poetics, was runner-up
for the Malcolm Bowie Prize for the best article in French studies by an early
career researcher).

Here is the press’ description of the volume:
The philosophy of Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951) – in particular the Tractatus
Logico-Philosophicus (pub. 1922) and the Philosophical Investigations (pub.
1953) – was decisive for English-language ‘analytic philosophy’ in the post-war
period. At the same time, French-language interest in Wittgenstein (as well as
the ‘analytic’ tradition) was restricted and politically charged, in particular
among French 1960s philosophers. Wittgenstein’s influence has waned in the last
quarter-century amongst philosophers working in English. In French, however,
his reputation has grown considerably. This special issue of Paragraph brings
together articles by scholars working in France, the UK, and North America
around the questions of language and canon-formation in philosophy and
‘theory’. In addition, Wittgenstein’s current pertinence to literary and
historical interpretation are explored, as are the connections between
Wittgenstein’s
philosophy and contemporary trends in interpretation theory, such as cognitive
approaches to interpretation.
