This book consists of a series of essays that all turn around
questions of the address of speech or writing. They argue and
demonstrate that meaning is not just a matter of the active
intention of a subject (for example, speaker, writer, or other
signatory of a meaningful act) but also of its reception at
another's address. The book's main concern is therefore with a
theory of meaning and of action that is not centered on the
intentional, self-conscious subject. The fifteen chapters explore
this problematic within three broad areas: love, jealousy, and
sexual difference, fiction or literature; and political or public
discourse. The book engages principally with contemporary French
thought and includes important new readings of work by Jacques
Derrida, Helene Cixous, Maurice Blanchot, and Jean-Luc Nancy.
