This volume collects twentythree interviews given over the course of the last two decades by Jacques Derrida. It illustrates the extraordinary breadth of his concerns, touching upon such subjects as the teaching of philosophy, sexual difference and feminine identity, the media, AIDS, language and translation, nationalism, politics, and Derrida s early life and the history of his writings. Often, as in the interview on Heidegger, or that on drugs, or on the nature of poetry, these interviews offer not only an introduction to other discussions, but something available nowhere else in his work.When did feminist discourse become an indispensable consideration for deconstruction? What was the impact on Derrida s work of his being an Algerian Jew growing up during World War II? Is there an ineradicable gap between languagebased attitude such as those found in a deconstruction and subjectivityoriented critical models such as those developed by Foucault and Lacan? Such questions as these are answered with great thoughtfulness and intensity.Derrida s oral style is patient, generous, and helpful. His tone varies with the questioners and the subject mattermilitant, playful, strategic, impassioned, analytic: difference in modulation can sometimes be heard within the same dialogue. The informality of the interview process frequently leads to the most succinct and lucid explications to be found of many of the most important and influential aspects of Derrida s thought. Sixteen of the interviews appear here for the first time in English, including an interview, conducted especially for this volume, concerning the recent exchange of letters in the New York Review of Books.
