Abstract

Eco-Deconstruction marks a new approach to the degradation of the natural environment, including habitat loss, species extinction, and climate change. While the work of French philosopher Jacques Derrida (1930-2004), 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has already proven highly influential in posthumanism and animal studies, the present volume, drawing on published and unpublished work by Derrida and others, builds on these insights to address the most pressing environmental issues of our time.The volume brings together fifteen prominent scholars, from a wide variety of related fields, including eco-phenomenology, eco-hermeneutics, new materialism, posthumanism, animal studies, vegetal philosophy, science and technology studies, environmental humanities, eco-criticism, earth art and aesthetics, and analytic environmental ethics. Overall, eco-deconstruction offers an account of differential relationality explored in a non-totalizable ecological context that addresses our times in both an ontological and a normative register.The book is divided into four sections. "Diagnosing the Present" suggests that our times are marked by a facile, flattened-out understanding of time and thus in need of deconstructive dispositions. "Ecologies" mobilizes the spectral ontology of deconstruction to argue for an originary environmentality, the constitutive ecological embeddedness of mortal life. "Nuclear and Other Biodegradabilities," examines remains, including such by-products and disintegrations of human culture as nuclear waste, environmental destruction, and species extinctions. "Environmental Ethics" seeks to uncover a demand for justice, including human responsibility for suffering beings, that emerges precisely as a response to original differentiation and the mortality and unmasterable alterity it installs in living beings. As such, the book will resonate with readers not only of philosophy, but across the humanities and the social and natural sciences.

Abstract

"À partir de 1932, Maurice Blanchot, journaliste politique, critique littéraire, écrivain à part, a poursuivi une recherche littéraire exigeante qui, à travers de multiples transformations (dont Thomas le Solitaire de 1931-1937), n'aboutira qu'en mai 1940 à Thomas l'Obscur, grand roman dont on a aussitôt remarqué la singularité. Entre-temps, le futur romancier a interrompu ce travail "interminable" (dira-t-il) pour rédiger trois récits brefs, dont le premier, "Le Mythe d'Ulysse", est demeuré inédit à ce jour, et dont les deux autres, "L'Idylle" et "Le Dernier Mot", ne seront connus que sous une forme modifiée en 1947. Dans les archives personnelles de l'écrivain sont restées cependant les versions inaugurales de ces trois textes, et ce sont elles dont nous proposons ici la transcription, pour donner ainsi à lire ou à relire ces premiers récits d'un auteur encore confidentiel. "Je vous demande donc de vous rappeler ceci pour bien conduire vos observations : le dernier mot ne peut être un mot, ni l'absence de mot, ni autre chose qu'un mot. Si je me brise sur un bégaiement, j'aurai à rendre des comptes au sommeil, je me réveillerai et tout sera à recommencer.""--Page 4 of cover.
