Synopsis "Points. Interviews, 1974-1994: Interviews, 1976-93 (Meridian: Crossing Aesthetics) "

This volume collects twenty-three interviews given over the course of the last two decades by Jacques Derrida. It illustrates the extraordinary breadth of his concerns, touching upon such subjects as the teaching of philosophy, sexual difference and feminine identity, the media, AIDS, language and translation, nationalism, politics, and Derrida's early life and the history of his writings. Often, as in the interview on Heidegger, or that on drugs, or on the nature of poetry, these interviews offer not only an introduction to other discussions, but something available nowhere else in his work. When did feminist discourse become an indispensable consideration for deconstruction? What was the impact on Derrida's work of his being an Algerian Jew growing up during World War II? Is there an ineradicable gap between language-based attitude such as those found in a deconstruction and subjectivity-oriented critical models such as those developed by Foucault and Lacan? Such questions as these are answered with great thoughtfulness and intensity. Derrida's oral style is patient, generous, and helpful. His tone varies with the questioners and the subject matter―militant, playful, strategic, impassioned, analytic: difference in modulation can sometimes be heard within the same dialogue. The informality of the interview process frequently leads to the most succinct and lucid explications to be found of many of the most important and influential aspects of Derrida's thought. Sixteen of the interviews appear here for the first time in English, including an interview, conducted especially for this volume, concerning the recent exchange of letters in the New York Review of Books.

Jacques Derrida nació el 15 de julio de 1930 en El Biar, Argelia, y murió el 8 de octubre de 2004 en París, Francia. Proveniente de una familia judía sefardí en el contexto del colonialismo francés, su infancia estuvo marcada por acontecimientos que influirían en su sensibilidad filosófica: entre ellos, la experiencia de ser excluido de su liceo en 1942 debido a decretos antijudíos del régimen de Vichy. Posteriormente se trasladó a París para formarse en filosofía, y tras ejercer la enseñanza en la Sorbona y en la École Normale Supérieure, se consolidó como uno de los más influyentes filósofos del siglo XX.

Derrida es sobretodo conocido por haber desarrollado la filosofía de la deconstrucción, un método crítico que analiza cómo los textos, discursos o sistemas de pensamiento contienen oposiciones jerárquicas implícitas (como presencia/ausencia, palabra/escritura, naturaleza/cultura) y muestra cómo esas oposiciones pueden desplazarse o derrumbarse. Su trabajo influyó profundamente en áreas como filosofía, teoría literaria, lingüística, derecho, arquitectura y estudios culturales, sirviendo para cuestionar los fundamentos de la metafísica occidental.

Entre sus obras más destacadas se encuentran Of Grammatology (1967), Writing and Difference (1967) y Margins of Philosophy (1972). A lo largo de su vida académica, abordó temas como la escritura, la diferencia, la presencia, la identidad, la justicia, la memoria y la alteridad. Su estilo, complejo y frecuentemente polémico, generó tanto adhesiones como críticas intensas. Derrida deja un legado que sigue vivo en múltiples disciplinas, movilizando el pensamiento en torno a la apertura, el otro y el procedimiento crítico.
