{"product_id":"derridas-marrano-passover-agata-bielik-robson-9781501392658","title":"Derrida's Marrano Passover: Exile, Survival, Betrayal, and the Metaphysics of Non-Identity","description":"In this first ever monograph on Jacques Derrida's 'Toledo confession' - where he portrayed himself as 'sort of a Marrano of the French Catholic culture' - Agata Bielik-Robson shows Derrida's \u003ci\u003emarranismo\u003c\/i\u003e to be a literary experiment of auto-fiction. She looks at all possible aspects of Derrida's Marrano identification in order to demonstrate that it ultimately constitutes a trope of non-identitarian evasion that permeates all his works: just as Marranos cannot be characterized as either Jewish or Christian, so is Derrida's 'universal Marranism' an invitation to think philosophically, politically and - last but not least - metaphysically without rigid categories of identity and belonging.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy concentrating on Derrida's deliberate choice of \u003ci\u003emarranismo\u003c\/i\u003e, Bielik-Robson shows that it penetrates deep into the very core of his late thinking, constantly drawing on the literary works of Kafka, Celan, Joyce, Cixous and Val?ry, and throws a new light on his early works, most of all: \u003ci\u003eOf Grammatology\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDissemination\u003c\/i\u003e and 'Diff?rance'. She also offers a completely new interpretation of many of Derrida's works only seemingly non-related to the Marrano issue, like \u003ci\u003eGlas\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eG\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eiven Time: Counterfeit Money\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDeath Penalty Seminar\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eSpecters of Marx\u003c\/i\u003e. In these new readings, this book demonstrates that the Marrano Derrida is not a marginal auto-biographical figure overshadowed by Derrida the Philosopher: it is one and the same thinker who discovered \u003ci\u003emarranismo\u003c\/i\u003e as a literary trope of openness, offering up a new genre of philosophical story-telling which centers around Derrida's Marrano 'auto-fable'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Agata Bielik-Robson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501392654\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501392658\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 07\/25\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.87lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.62d","brand":"Agata Bielik-Robson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46173091954943,"sku":"9781501392658","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_612e5237-0565-4d38-aba6-c0a2f4710bca.jpg?v=1727179965","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/derridas-marrano-passover-agata-bielik-robson-9781501392658","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
