Everything-Is-Well-Said Living Beside Me in the Process of Continuing
In the search for a comparative measure of the importance Derrida grants to the various authors he reads, one could do worse than to tally the number of words he coins or reinvents in their honour. Surely Cixous would come out on top. And beyond wordcounts, her work inspires/requires him to produce particularly subtle, complex and inventive writing. It is also true, and these two things are beguilingly difficult to disentangle, that Derrida’s rea…
Uncanny Cast
Cixous, Derrida, Psychoanalysis
Helene Cixous and Jacques Derrida are two of the most innovative and unsettling thinkers to emerge from the traumas and transformations of the first half of the twentieth century. Despite the great, and manifest, differences between their respective bodies of work (hers that of a ‘poet’; his that of a ‘philosopher’), these bodies speak to each other, recall and echo each other, in ways that cannot be accounted for by shared biographical traits (t…
Volleys of Humanity
A new collection from one of the most famous and influential French theorists These 15 essays – 6 previously unpublished even in French and 5 published in English for the first time – span nearly 40 years of Cixous’ writing. Here, she ranges over literature, philosophy, politics and culture in what she calls her ‘autobibliography’.

Passion Michel Foucault
This is a study of Michel Foucault's life in philosophy. Foucault was probably the most influential Western philosopher since Sartre. Hailed as an original thinker, he has also been criticized as a dangerous and irresponsible nihilist. Drawing on extensive research, this book focuses on the philosopher's obsession with death and his taste for sado-masochistic sex. By the author of Democracy in the Streets
The Book, Chasing its own Tale
Introduction
La porte est condamnée mais entrez donc Jacques Derrida With the possible exceptions of Hélène Cixous's own contribution and her dialogue with Jacques Derrida, this issue of New Literary History presents a series of new readings of Cixous's work. The initiative was Ralph Cohen's from the start: to publish a collection of essays that would reflect the extraordinary diversity in the reception of Hélène Cixous's writing. And while this volume can be…
Make Believe
Make Believe:Manhattan’s Folittérature Eric Prenowitz (bio) Make believe is a verb, often used in the imperative, forexample when you say "Make believe you're the mummy andI'm the daddy." But when the verb's two verbs are conjugated with a hyphen, make-believe is a noun or an adjective, it is something or it qualifies something—and already to say that make- believe is this or that is to take us into an intractable paradox out of which we are unli…
Dialectics of Another Litter
Enfances du texte
Depuis pres de trente ans, sous le titre general de la « Poetique de la difference sexuelle », Helene Cixous travaille dans son seminaire sur un certain « canon » litteraire. Il s'agit d'une grande famille d'auteurs ou de textes a la fois exclusive et ouverte, dont les liens traversent les langues, les âges, les continents. L'arbre genealogique comprend des noms comme Montaigne, Rousseau, Stendhal, Proust, Genet. Dostoievski, Rimbaud, Kafka, Blan…

Archive Fever
Archive Fever
In his latest work, Jacques Derrida deftly guides us through an extended meditation on remembrance, religion, time, and technology - all fruitfully occasioned by a deconstructive analysis of the notion of archiving. The archival concept has of late played a pivotal role in critical debate. A place of origin, yet of perpetuity, a place of stasis and order, yet of discovery, the notion of archive houses a fascinating complex of diverse, and often d…
