Translation and Transformation

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book explores the cross-cultural reception of Derrida's work, specifically how that work in all its diversity, has come to be identified with word deconstruction. It is the first book to consider the cultural reception of Derrida's works, its accessible language and structure help to make this a benchmark amongst introductory Derrida studies.

Rezensionen

'Through offering...an 'introduction' to Derrida's work in the context of literary studies, it also provides the advanced student of Derrida and researchers who specialize in the field of literary theory, poststructuralism, and 'deconstruction' much to consider, and equally much to reassess...one can only wish that there were more books of this quality on Derrida.' - Professor Julian Wolfreys, Department of English, University of Florida, USA
