Re-reading Derrida: Perspectives on Mourning and its Hospitalities,
edited by Tony Thwaites and Judith Seaboyer, is a unique
collaborative exploration of the legacies of the late philosopher,
Jacques Derrida, across a wide variety of fields. Anchoring the
book are two major essays on mourning by two of the best-known
Derridean thinkers today, who were close friends of Derrida: J.
Hillis Miller and Derek Attridge. Each of the other essays has been
written to respond to these, and-in a novel move-to at least two of
the other contributions. As a result, the very form of the book is
a way of exploring the thematics of hospitality, and the ways in
which disciplines open themselves to one another, extending lines
of flight across the archipelagos of knowledge-the politics of the
memorial, poetry, trauma, film, neoliberalism, the novel, and
psychoanalysis. Throughout the book themes and concerns recur, each
time refracted, developed, and questioned under the pressures of
new conjunctures. As the editors' Introduction argues, what the
book seeks to show is not that a certain general body of
theoretical work can be applied in all sorts of areas, but
something more interesting: that from the outset, theoretical work
itself takes on its meaning only in its grappling with the
specific, the singular, even the unique. Miller's and Attridge's
essays have at their heart, after all, the loss of a friend.
