Erotics of Deconstruction takes advantage of over a decade of publications from Derrida’s seminars to creatively demonstrate the deep material range of deconstruction and emphasise its under-recognised erotic nature. It activates psychoanalysis without the long-embedded philosophical trajectory that forged the human, psychic life and sexuality as categorically distinct from ‘the animal’ (inherent to dialectics and psychoanalysis). It generates new conversations with Derrida’s feminist contemporaries as they encounter pressing questions in current critical thought. From the larger frame of ‘life death’ and the broadest auto-affective relation of inside to outside, to the difficult to grasp interface of conceptual and sensible, Erotics of Deconstruction does not retreat to a reparative life force or erotics of the good, but includes the unsettling friction of an originary relation to violence. Parsed by means of case studies from literature, philosophy and visual culture, erotics in this volume lap at every edge.
