The focal point of the essays is the \"Envois,\" which forms part of Derrida's \u003ci\u003ePost Card\u003c\/i\u003e. Particular attention is paid to how that text articulates with the ethical and political emphases of Derrida's more recent work, but also to its autobiographical conceit.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe \"incendiary\" reference of the book's title underscores deconstruction's engagement with questions of reading: relations between (slow) reading and the speed of technology, and the political effects of an internationalized deconstruction in a globalized culture. It is in terms of what deconstruction can have us think about the speed of technology and technologies of reading that Derrida's work has made one of its most important contributions to philosophy and literary and cultural studies. The book concentrates on that as proof of the continued relevance of such work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Wills\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0804741360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804741361\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/10\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 5.90w x 0.60d","brand":"David Wills","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47425070956799,"sku":"9780804741361","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bf4ddc3e-7930-4a0b-9fa2-93d71c3ac71b.jpg?v=1761536808","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/matchbook-david-wills-9780804741361","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
