{"product_id":"derrida-on-exile-and-the-herman-rapaport-9781350163096","title":"Derrida on Exile and the Nation: Reading Fantom of the Other","description":"Providing crucial scholarship on Derrida's first series of lectures from the \u003ci\u003eNationality and Philosophical Nationalism\u003c\/i\u003ecycle, Herman Rapaport brings all 13 parts of the \u003ci\u003eFantom of the Other\u003c\/i\u003e series (1984-85) to our critical attention. The series, Rapaport argues, was seminal in laying the foundations for the courses given, and ideas explored, by Derrida over the next twenty years. It is in this vein that the full explication of Derrida's lectures is done, breathing life into the foundational lecture series which has not yet been published in its entirety in English.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDerrida's examination of a master signifier of the social relation, \u003ci\u003eGeschlecht\u003c\/i\u003e, acts as the critical entry point of the series into wide-ranging meditations on the social construction and deconstruction of all possible relations denoted by the core concept, including race, gender, sex, and family. The lecture series' vast engagement with a range of major thinkers, including philosophers and poets alike - Arendt, Adorno, Heidegger, Wittgenstein, Trakl, and Adonis - tackles core themes and debates about philosophical nationalism. Presenting Derrida's lectures on the implications of key 20th century philosopher's understandings of nationalism as they relate to concerns over idiomatic language, notions of race, exile, return, and social relations, adds richly to the literature on Derrida and reveals the potential for further application of his work to current polarising debates between universalism and tribalism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Herman Rapaport\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350163090\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350163096\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/10\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.16lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d","brand":"Herman Rapaport","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44057486688511,"sku":"9781350163096","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0150809b-6ec5-4c3d-9822-b605fac3dbe1.jpg?v=1685047266","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/derrida-on-exile-and-the-herman-rapaport-9781350163096","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
