This is not a Derrida Reader. It is the first volume to offer a
selection of texts from the field of deconstruction in all its
radical diversity. The collection examines the fortunes of the term
deconstruction, and the ideas associated with it, in the work of
the leading commentators on Derrida's texts. It includes previously
untranslated, newly translated and uncollected work by Derrida and
others. Deconstruction: A Reader begins with examples of
pre-Derridean deconstruction, then divides into sections covering
philosophy, literature, culture, sexual difference, psychoanalysis,
politics, ethics, and memorial texts and interviews by Derrida. It
covers a broad range of topics including: AIDS, architecture, art,
feminism, ghosts, law, Marxism, postmodernism, race, revolution,
Shakespeare, technology, telepathy and theology. This is an
indispensable anthology and a guide both to the history of
deconstruction and to its current scene. It provides a significant
introduction to the challenge of deconstruction. Features * The
