An Abolitionism Worthy of the Name --contributors --indexThis volume represents the first collection of essays devoted exclusively to Jacques Derrida's Death Penalty Seminars, conducted from 1999 to 2001. The volume includes essays from a range of scholars working in philosophy, law, Francophone studies, and comparative literature, including established Derridians, activist scholars, and emerging scholars. These essays attempt to elucidate and expand upon Derrida's deconstruction of the theologico-political logic of the death penalty in order to construct a new form of abolitionism, one not rooted in the problematic logics of sovereign power. These essays provide remarkable insight into Derrida’s ethical and political projects; this volume will not only explore the implications of Derrida’s thought on capital punishment and mass incarceration, but will also help to further elucidate the philosophical groundwork for his later deconstructions of sovereign power and the human/animal divide. Because Derrida is deconstructing the logic of the death penalty, rather than the death penalty itself, his seminars will prove useful to scholars and activists opposing all forms of state sanctioned killing. In compiling this volume, our goals were twofold: first, to make a case for Derrida's continuing importance in debates on capital punishment, mass incarceration, and police brutality, and second, to construct a new, versatile abolitionism, one capable of confronting all forms the death penalty might take.Fordham scholarship online.Power (Social sciences)ImprisonmentMoral and ethical aspectsCapital punishmentMoral and ethical aspectsCapital punishmentPhilosophyElectronic books.Capital Punishment.Death Penalty Abolition.Death Penalty.Deconstruction.Jacques Derrida.Mass Incarceration.Political Theology.Prison Industrial Complex.Psychoanalysis.Sovereignty.Power (Social sciences)ImprisonmentMoral and ethical aspects.Capital punishmentMoral and ethical aspects.Capital punishmentPhilosophy.364.6601Anderson Nicole938502Chenoweth Katie1028449Guenther Lisa1028450Howells Christina966256Kamuf Peggy251640Kuiken Kir1028451Marder Elissa973924Naas Michael689709Oliver Kelly689708Rottenberg Elizabeth992195Saghafi Kas704713Thurschwell Adam1028452Tyson Sarah1028453Oliver Kellyedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtStraub Stephanieedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910478882603321Deconstructing the Death Penalty2444474UNINA
