Jacques Derrida: Deconstruction Engaged, The Sydney Seminars

by Paul Patton (Editor)

At his two Sydney seminars of August 1999, Jacques Derrida presented some of the principal themes of his work to non-specialist audiences. His willingness to engage with both interlocutors and the audience ensured an exciting demonstration of the subtlety and flexibility of deconstructive thinking in action. This volume presents the edited transcripts of those sessions, and provides a clear, systematic, and highly accessible introduction to many central concerns of Derrida's engagement with philosophy, visual art, and politics.
