This book questions the book itself, archivization, machines for
writing, and the mechanicity inherent in language, the media, and
intellectuals. Derrida questions what takes place between the paper
and the machine inscribing it. He examines what becomes of the
archive when the world of paper is subsumed in new machines for
virtualization, and whether there can be a virtual event or a
virtual archive. Derrida continues his long-standing investigation
of these issues, and ties them into the new themes that governed
his teaching and thinking in the past few years: the secret,
pardon, perjury, state sovereignty, hospitality, the university,
animal rights, capital punishment, the question of what sort of
mediatized world is replacing the print epoch, and the question of
the "wholly other." Derrida is remarkable at making seemingly
occasional pieces into part of a complexly interconnected
trajectory of thought.
