View viewed and viewer views: a 'book review' of Trinh T. Minh-Ha's Framer Framed

摘要

To produce a ???book review??? of Trinh T. Minh-ha???s most recently published text, Framer Framed, is to enter into that economy in a particularly inappropriate manner, for it is precisely the ???book??? and the ???review??? that much of Trinh???s work throws radically into crisis. In order to do this text a modicum of justice, it is essential to begin with an admission of failure: this book review will be, indeed must be, inadequate to fulfill its project. In order to produce a book review of this text I must above all not produce a book review of this text.
