Summary:

This collection of thirteen essays, five of which are written in French, offers a critical evaluation and rethinking of key concepts in Derrida's work as they pertain to cultural theory. The book is organized around four main topics--maneuvers, societies, images and fictions. The authors, an international set of academics working in the humanities and cultural studies, considers conceptualizations of Otherness, violence, the object of cultural theory, nihilism, alternative ethical and political models to those that dominate cultural theory, mono- and multi-lingualism, culture and art as supplementary practices, economy, and interpretation after Derrida. The introduction and list of essay summaries are dual-language. Unfortunately, the work is not indexed. Price is converted from euros. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
