| Description: |
This book explores the cross-cultural reception of Derrida's work, specifically how that work in all its diversity, has come to be identified with word deconstruction. It is the first book to consider the cultural reception of Derrida's works, its accessible language and structure help to make this a benchmark amongst introductory Derrida studies. |
| Synopsis: |
The death of the French philosopher Jacques Derrida in 2004 leaves behind an immense body of work. What is the legacy of Jacques Derrida? What will 'live on' and 'survive'? Since the late 1960s a politics of deconstruction has been a frequent demand of Derrida's readers. One could also add, a demand of many who have never taken the trouble to read Derrida at all. The 'trouble' and 'difficulty' that some encounter in the act of reading Derrida goes against the grain of our times with its emphasis on easily accessible information. This comprehensive and accessible new study approaches the demand from a fresh perspective, offering a historical coverage of the ways in which Derrida's theory of deconstruction has been used, against a background of Derrida's own view that deconstruction shouldn't be used as a methodology. Written in an engaging and jargon-free style and with a student-friendly structure, the study has its inception in Derrida's Letter to a Japanese Friend and will be of tremendous use and significance to all students and scholars of Derrida. |
