- Additional information
- This collection explores the legacies of deconstruction particularly in relation to those of psychoanalysis. Rather than reduce deconstruction to a static object of historical importance or memory, the essays collected here ask about its relationship to desire, which in deconstruction and psychoanalysis alike intersect the forces of both life and death, therefore complicating the question of legacy. The volume includes pieces on transference, translation, survival, mourning, deconstruction’s relationship to biology and the sciences, and the Holocaust. Wortham’s co-editing work included selection of contributions, co-authoring the Introduction and a contributing a single authored chapter, ‘There Shall Be No Mourning’
