Critical Process
Deconstruction
Deconstruction
Philosophers 'do' 'it', literary critics 'do' 'it', even architects and psychoanalysts 'do' 'it', poets 'do' 'it', painters 'do' 'it', capital and the political are said to 'do' 'it', texts 'do' 'it' to themselves and justice is 'it', but what is this thing? The following pages are an introduction to the term which has come to act as a metonym for the work of Jacques Derrida and the substantial body of knowledge which has grown up around his text…

Clarity and Doubt
This essay takes the Genet column of Derrida's Glas as its point of departure for a wider discussion of Derrida's contribution to thinking on the question of Israel-Palestine. What would it mean for Genet to be at war, encircled or outcast? What of the polemos in Genet, in Derrida, in Glas? How are we to show that what always interests Derrida takes place (or the place of Genet) among the Palestinians? What is the space of literature here? How do…

False Economy
When we speak of the credit crunch of 2008-14, we are really referring to a debt crisis. Far from the aberrant outcome of an economic failure, however, debt is a necessary condition of all economy. This essay opens up the present banking crisis through a reading of Jacques Derrida’s Given Time . It addresses issues such as Credit Default Swaps and inter-bank lending through an understanding of finance as counterfeit money, and examines the questi…
The Political Archive of Paul de Man
This book re-reads a major theorist in terms of the current crisis in sovereignty and global capital. In this book, 13 experts revisit de Man's account of Rousseau and what he calls a 'Theotropic Allegory' (the second to last step before 'Political Allegory', on the road toward a general theory of Textual Allegory). They frame de Man's readings of Rousseau in a 'post-theoretical' landscape concerned with political theology, occupied with the tran…

Why Cultural Studies is the End of Thinking
This article begins from a consideration of this issue's contention that 'central to politicized academic projects... is a critique of the cultural power of institutions' and in particular pedagogical institutions. It argues that is clear enough what the Editor is thinking of here: he names 'cultural studies' as his prime suspect and from here it is not too far a leap to imagine that the pedagogical institution at which his 'politicized academic …

The Secrets of Paul de Man
Through an account of Derrida's late text on Paul de Man, ''Le Parjure', Perhaps', as a deliberately indiscrete confession, this essay considers the wider question of secrecy. It examines an unsuspected institutional history of deconstruction while suggesting a role for secrecy as the necessary condition of any critical reading. Along with De Man, the essay finally revisits the claim for 'the radical secrecy of fiction' as a basic structure of ph…
Extraordinary Rendition
Extraordinary Rendition: Derrida and Vietnam Martin McQuillan (bio) 'Every philosophical colloquium necessarily has a political significance. And not only due to that which has always linked the essence of the philosophical to the essence of the political. Essential and general, this political import nevertheless burdens the a priori link between philosophy and politics, aggravates it in a way, and also determines it when the philosophical colloq…
Deconstruction After 9/11
In this book Martin McQuillan brings Derrida's writing into the immediate vicinity of geo-politics today, from the Kosovan conflict to the war in Iraq. The chapters in this book follow both Derrida's writing since Specters of Marx and the present political scene through the former Yogoslavia and Afghanistan to Palestine and Baghdad. His 'textual activism' is as impatient with the universal gestures of philosophy as it is with the complacency and …
