This collection of essays explores the main concepts and methods of
reading launched by French philosopher Jacques Derrida who died in
2004. Derrida exerted a huge influence on literary critics in the
1980s, but later there was a backlash against his theories. Today,
one witnesses a general return to his way of reading literature,
the rationale of which is detailed and explained in the essays. The
authors, both well-known and younger specialists, give many precise
examples of how Derrida, who always remained at the cusp between
literature and philosophy, posed fundamental questions and thus
changed the field of literary criticism, especially with regard to
poetry. The contributors also highlight the way Derrida made
spectacular interventions in feminism, psychoanalytic studies,
animal studies, digital humanities and post-colonial studies.
