- This book of 300 pages (c.130,000 words) is the result of seven years of research and has been described as the most comprehensive treatment of Derrida’s work in 35 years. It draws from archival research at the University of California, Irvine, undertaken in 2014, on Derrida’s then-unpublished seminar La Vie la mort (1975-5) translating large sections of its difficult prose. It received strong endorsements from the scholars best acquainted with Derrida’s work in theoretical biology. The book draws from and translates material in French and German, with extensive readings of Bataille, Blanchot, Deleuze, Foucault, Heidegger, Husserl, Nietzsche and others.
