Derrida and Joyce

Texts and Contexts

By Andrew Mitchell, Sam Slote | Publisher: State University of New York Press

About the book

Bringing together all of Jacques Derrida's writings on James Joyce, this volume includes the first complete translation of his book Ulysses Gramophone: Two Words for Joyce as well as the first translation of the essay \"The Night Watch.\" In Ulysses Gramophone, Derrida provides some of his most thorough reflections on affirmation and the \"yes,\" the signature, and the role of technological mediation in all of these areas. In \"The Night Watch,\" Derrida pursues his ruminations on writing in an explicitly feminist direction, offering profound observations on the connection between writing and matricide. Accompanying these texts are nine essays by leading scholars from across the humanities addressing Derrida's treatments of Joyce throughout his work, and two remembrances of lectures devoted to Joyce that Derrida gave in 1982 and 1984. The volume concludes with photographs of Derrida from these two events.
