In 2004, Jacques Derrida gave one of his final interviews prior to
his death. Regarding the future of his work, Derrida advanced two
contradictory hypotheses: "I will not be read"; and "despite a
handful of good readers... I am yet to be read". This book is an
homage to the spirit of Derrida, and seeks to grasp the
significance of his death on the rich corpus of his work, in a
voice that remains true to the "faithful betrayals" of Derridas own
works of deconstuction. Two key journeys underpin Posthumously. The
first is an exploration of both Derrida and deconstruction through
the unusual prism of cinema and photography, bringing into play
Gilles Deleuze's concept of creative repetition. In the second
journey, the author embarks on a detailed engagement with Derrida's
oft-neglected book on drawing, Memoirs of the Blind, and provides a
subversive reading of that text, arguing that its labyrinthine
turns (confession, self-portrait, and mourning) obscure a secret
ambition to stage the last battle between its own graphic trait and
the image in full colour. Beneath this vivid canopy, Zsuzsa Baross
brings together a collection of shorter pieces developing the
meaning of the term "posthumous" in the world of writing and
literary criticism, interrogating Derrida's posthumous lesson on
"learning to live". The final act in this unique volume analyses
Derrida's last hand-written note; a note, the author argues, that
reopens the question of the posthumous and provides an infinitely
moving lesson on life.
