Sommario/riassunto

This book collects ten years of Peggy Kamuf's writing on the work and friendship of Jacques Derrida. The majority of the chapters discuss a key aspect of Derrida's thought  either from a single work or across several texts. Kamuf engages with a broad array of his work  from the 1960s to the posthumous publication of his teaching seminars.
