文档介绍：DERRIDA’S DECONSTRUCTION OF THE SUBJECT: WRITING, SELF AND OTHER THEA BELLOU DERRIDA’S DECONSTRUCTION Derrida is one of the most in? uential, controversial plex thinkers. The book offers a critical evaluation of deconstruction by focusing on the problematic of writing, self and other in the thought of Derrida. It examines how these concepts relate to one another in order to analyse systematically the in? uence that the concept of alterity has had in de- constructing a certain idea of subjectivity in Western metaphysics. Thea Bellou argues that Derrida’s intellectual project is to examine the fate of irreducible alterity within Western metaphysics. Hence, the question of the other remained Derrida’s most fundamental and con- stant intellectual engagement throughout his oeuvre. The book starts with the early works of Derrida where his notions of alterity and writing are embedded in his engagement with phenome- nology. It ends with the last phase of Derrida’s work where he turns to- wards more concrete ethico-political situations, and increasingly adopts theological and messianic discourses, focusing on violence to the other, an ‘other-orientated’ notion of responsibility, and a ‘futural’ concept of democracy and politics. Thea Bellou teaches Communication, Media and Cultural Studies at Victoria University, Australia. She taught in numerous universities in Australia and overseas. She has been a research fellow at the University of Melbourne and the University of Paris. Her current research deals with the impacts of the digital communication revolution on diverse ? elds, particularly, media, culture munication.
