The Converso's Return
Five centuries after the forced conversion of Spanish and Portuguese Jews to Catholicism, stories of these conversos' descendants uncovering long-hidden Jewish roots have come to light and taken hold of the literary and popular imagination. This seemingly remote history has inspired a wave of contemporary writing involving hidden artifacts, familial whispers and secrets, and clandestine Jewish ritual practices pointing to a past that had been presumed dead and buried. The Converso's Return explores the cultural politics and literary impact of this reawakened interest in converso and crypto-Jewish history, ancestry, and identity, and asks what this fascination with lost-and-found heritage can...
From Bataille to Badiou
This exhaustive reading of the review Lignes provides the first in depth study of a French intellectual periodical publication form the 1980s to the contemporary moment. It demonstrates the preservation and development of 'French Theory' into the new millennium, and provides a new cultural history of France, from the fall of the Berlin Wall to the 2016 terror attacks.
Religion in Reason
This book presents critical engagements with the work of Hent de Vries, widely regarded as one of the most important living philosophers of religion. Contributions by a distinguished group of scholars discuss the role played by religion in philosophy; the emergence and possibilities of the category of religion; and the relation between religion and violence, secularism, and sovereignty. Together, they provide a synoptic view of how de Vries’s work has prompted a reconceptualization of how religion should be studied, especially in relation to theology, politics, and new media. The volume will be of particular interest to scholars of religious studies, theology, and philosophy.
Deconstruction, Its Force, Its Violence
A reappraisal of deconstruction from one of its leading commentators, focusing on the themes of force and violence. In this book, Rodolphe Gasché returns to some of the founding texts of deconstruction to propose a new and broader way of understanding it—not as an operation or method to reach an elusive outside, or beyond, of metaphysics, but as something that takes place within it. Rather than unraveling metaphysics, deconstruction loosens its binary and hierarchical conceptual structure. To make this case, Gasché focuses on the concepts of force and violence in the work of Jacques Derrida, looking to his essays “Force and Signification” and “Force of Law,” and his reading on Of...
Deconstruction and the Work of Art
The contemporary idea of the “work of art” is paradoxically both widely used and often unexamined. Therefore, we must re-evaluate the concept before we can understand what the deconstruction of aesthetics means for thinkers like Jacques Derrida, Jean-Luc Nancy, and Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe. By examining their analyses of works of visual art and contextualizing their thinking on the matter, Martta Heikkilä asserts that the implications of the “work of art,” “art,” and “the aesthetic” apply not only to philosophical questions but also to a broader area. Instead of the totality represented by the historical concept of Art, poststructuralist thinkers introduce the idea of the ra...
Biodeconstruction
Analyzes Derridas 1975 seminar La vie la mort as a deconstruction of biology with relevance to his work more broadly. In Biodeconstruction,Francesco Vitale demonstrates the key role that the question of life plays in Jacques Derridas work. In the seminar La vie la mort (1975), Derrida engages closely with the life sciences, especially biology and evolution theory. Connecting this line of thought to his analysis of cybernetics in Of Grammatology, Vitale shows how Derrida develops a notion of biological life as itself a sort of text that is necessarily open onto further articulations and grafts. This sets the stage for the deconstruction of the traditional opposition between life and d...
Jacques Derrida, une introduction
Jacques Derrida est l'un des plus grands philosophes français, dont L 'œuvre est internationalement connue et reconnue. Son travail, associé à la " déconstruction ", représente aujourd'hui la tentative de subversion la plus radicale de la pensée occidentale. Rien de ce qui a lieu, aujourd'hui comme hier, dans la théorie comme dans la pratique, n'échappe aux analyses de Derrida, et aucune discipline ne peut plus désormais ignorer la révolution de pensée dont il est l'auteur. L'attention à ce qui arrive et aux processus historico-politiques en cours ainsi que la déconstruction des textes de la tradition font la puissance et l'originalité incomparables de ses textes. Cette " introduction " restitue dans sa clarté et sa nécessité une œuvre des plus singulières et des plus exigeantes de notre temps.
Une langue à venir
Cette analyse de l'oeuvre de Jacques Derrida, fondée sur le concept d'écriture, fait apparaître une politique du philosophe français, portée par une langue propre à ses textes.
