In Derrida and the Legacy of Psychoanalysis, Paul Earlie offers a
detailed account of the importance of psychoanalysis in Derrida's
thought. Based on close readings of texts from the whole of his
career, including less well-known and previously unpublished
material, the title sheds new light on the crucial role of
psychoanalysis in shaping Derrida's response to a number of key
questions. These questions range from the psyche's relationship to
technology to the role of fiction and metaphor in scientific
discourse, and from the relationship between memory and the archive
to the status of the political in deconstruction. Focusing on Freud
but proposing new readings of texts by Lacan, Torok and Abraham,
Laplanche and Pontalis, amongst other seminal figures in
contemporary French thought, Earlie argues that Derrida's writings
on psychoanalysis can also provide an important bridge between
deconstruction and the recent materialist turn in the humanities.
Challenging a still prevalent 'textualist' reading of Derrida's
work, he explores the ongoing contribution of deconstruction and
psychoanalysis to pressing issues in critical thought today, from
the localizing models of the neurosciences and the omnipresence of
digital technology to the politics of affect in an age of terror.
