What are we to make of Jacques Derrida's famous claim that "every
other is every other," if the other could also be an object, a
stone or an elementary particle? Derrida's philosophy is relevant
not just for human ethical language and animality, but to profound
developments in the physical and natural sciences, as well as
ecology. Derrida After the End of Writing argues for the importance
of reading Derrida's later work from a new materialist perspective.
In conversation with Heidegger, Lacan, and Deleuze, and critically
engaging newer philosophies of speculative realism and
object-oriented ontology, Crockett claims that Derrida was never a
linguistic idealist. Furthermore, something changes in his later
philosophy something that cannot be simply described as a "turn."
In Catherine Malabou's terms, there is a shift from a motor scheme
of writing to a motor scheme of plasticity. Crockett explores some
of the implications of interpreting Derrida through the new
materialist lens of technicity or plasticity, attending to the
significance of ethics, religion, and politics in his later work.
By reading Derrida from a new materialist perspective, Crockett
provides fresh readings of his ideas of sovereignty, religion,
responsibility, and mourning. These new readings produce fruitful
engagements with the thinkers who have followed Derrida, including
Malabou, Timothy Morton, John D. Caputo, and Karen Barad. Here is a
new reading of Derrida that moves beyond conventional
understandings of poststructuralism and deconstruction, a reading
that is responsive to and critical of some of the crucial
developments shaping the humanities today.
