Five Faces of Derrida (Paperback)

Derrida is still with us. Through his writings and his performances. This book offers a unique insight into Derrida's last years through analyses by 4 Danish scholars of Kirby Dick and Amy Kofman Ziering's movie "Derrida" (2002). Derrida emerges not only as a wise man, but also as one who can touch our most sensitive cores. The four essays presented here end with a fifth text which is a dialogue between Bent Sorensen, the editor, who met Derrida immediately after 9/11, Camelia Elias, who personally knew Derrida, Steen Ledet Christiansen, who has never seen Derrida, and Soren Hattesen Balle, who personally tried to convince Derrida that he is a Romantic.
