Apparitionsof Derrida''s Other

Informationen zum Autor Kas Saghafi Klappentext How does Derrida write of and on the other? Apparitions examines exemplary instances of the relation to the other-the relation of Moses to God, Derrida's friendship with Jean-Luc Nancy, Derrida's relation to a recentlydeparted actress caught on video-to demonstrate how Derrida forces us to reconceive who or what the other may be. For Derrida, the singularity of the other includes not only the formal or logical sense of alterity, the otherness of the human other, but also the otherness of the nonliving, the no longer living, or the not yet alive.Addressing Derrida's readings of Husserl, Levinas, Barthes, Blanchot, and Nancy, this book explores the apparitions of the other by attending to the mode of appearing, the phenomenality and visibility of the other.The book also demonstrates that video and photography display an intimate relation to spectrality, as well as a structural relation to the absolute singularity of the other Zusammenfassung How does Derrida write of and on the other? This book examines exemplary instances of the relation to the other - the relation of Moses to God, Derrida's friendship with Jean-Luc Nancy, Derrida's relation to a departed actress caught on video - to demonstrate how Derrida forces us to reconceive who or what the other may be.
