Description

First published in 1992. "Acts of Literature", compiled in close association with Derrida, brings together for the first time a number of Derrida's writings on literary texts on the question of literature.

The essays discuss literary figures such as Rousseau, Mallarme, Joyce, Shakespeare and Kafka.

Comprising pieces spanning Derrida's career, the collection includes a substantial new interview with him on questions of literature, deconstruction, politics, feminism and history.

Derek Attridge provides an introductory essay on deconstruction and the question of literature, and offers suggestions for further reading.

These essays examine the place and function of literature in Western culture.

They highlight Derrida's interest in literature as a significant cultural institution and as a peculiarly challenging form of writing, with inescapable consequences for our thinking about philosophy, politics and ethics.

This book should be of interest to undergraduates and academics in the field of literary theory and criticism and continental philosophy.
