"In 1998, Derrida hailed ecology as a 'new dimension of 'living together.' Almost twenty years later, ecology is nothing new: It even risks having overtaken itself in the sense of no longer marking any specific domain. It is clear that ecology traverses all spheres of all existences. The eco-deconstruction undertaken in this volume means both an ecology of deconstruction (what is a disseminated oikos? a differing-deferring one? a prosthetic one?) and also a deconstruction of ecology, thus of economy, ecopolitics, ecomythics, and ecosophy."-Jean-Luc Nancy, University of Strasbourg "A terrific…mehr

"In 1998, Derrida hailed ecology as a 'new dimension of 'living together.' Almost twenty years later, ecology is nothing new: It even risks having overtaken itself in the sense of no longer marking any specific domain. It is clear that ecology traverses all spheres of all existences. The eco-deconstruction undertaken in this volume means both an ecology of deconstruction (what is a disseminated oikos? a differing-deferring one? a prosthetic one?) and also a deconstruction of ecology, thus of economy, ecopolitics, ecomythics, and ecosophy."-Jean-Luc Nancy, University of Strasbourg "A terrific collection of essays penned by a stellar group of scholars, Eco-Deconstruction definitively demonstrates the continued relevance of deconstruction in our era of ecological disaster. No mere echo chamber of agreement, Eco-Deconstruction likewise shows us where deconstruction can be helpfully supplemented with other approaches going forward into an uncertain ecological future. Essential reading for anyone interested in environmental philosophy."-Jeffrey Nealon, The Pennsylvania State University "Timely, original, and extraordinarily innovative. . . . It will be an invaluable reference point for all those interested in the intersection of continental philosophy, literary criticism, posthumanism, and environmental concerns."-Mick Smith, Queens University Eco-Deconstruction marks a new approach to the destruction of our natural environment. While the work of Jacques Derrida, with its relentless interrogation of the anthropocentric metaphysics of presence, has already proven highly influential in posthumanism and animal studies, the present volume, drawing on published and unpublished work, builds on these insights to address the most pressing environmental issues of our time. From critiquing our facile understanding of temporality, to exploring an originary environmentality that marks the constitutive ecological embeddedness of mortal life, to examining such remains of human culture as nuclear waste, to articulating an ecological demand for justice, Eco-Deconstruction will resonate with readers not only of philosophy, but across the humanities and the social and natural sciences.
