The Reception of Derrida: Translation and Transformation

The Reception of Derrida: Translation and Transformation

by M. Thomas

Overview

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.
