Derrida wrote a vast number of texts for particular events across
the world, as well as a series of works that portray him as a
voyager. As an Algerian migr , a postcolonial outsider, and an
idiomatic writer who felt tied to a language that was not his own,
and as a figure obsessed by the singularity of the literary or
philosophical event, Derrida emerges as one whose thought always
arrives on occasion. But how are we to understand the event in
Derrida? Is there a risk that such stories of Derridas work tend to
misunderstand the essential unpredictability at work in the
conditions of his thought? And how are we to reconcile the
importance in Derrida of the unknowable event, the pull of the
singular, with deconstructions critical and philosophical rigour
and its claims to rethink more systematically the ethico-political
field. This book argues that this negotiation in fact allows
deconstruction to reformulate the very questions that we associate
with ethical and political responsibility and shows this to be the
central interest in Derridas work.
