The focal point of the essays is the Envois, which forms part of Derrida''s \u003ci\u003ePost Card\u003c\/i\u003e. Particular attention is paid to how that text articulates with the ethical and political emphases of Derrida''s more recent work, but also to its autobiographical conceit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe incendiary reference of the book''s title underscores deconstruction''s engagement with questions of reading: relations between (slow) reading and the speed of technology, and the political effects of an internationalized deconstruction in a globalized culture. It is in terms of what deconstruction can have us think about the speed of technology and technologies of reading that Derrida''s work has made one of its most important contributions to philosophy and literary and cultural studies. The book concentrates on that as proof of the continued relevance of such work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e@fmct:Contents  @toc4:List of Illustrations\tiii  Preface\tiii  @toc2:Chapter 1\tJaded in America\t1  Chapter 2\tLemming\t00  Chapter 3\tMatchbook\t00  Chapter 4\tTo Give, letterally\t00  Chapter 5\tJD-ROM\t000  Chapter 6\tUntitled: The Gift of Death\t000  Chapter 7\tForked Tongue\t000  Chapter 8\tSupreme Court\t000  Chapter 9\tBookend: Fiber Allergics\t000  @toc4:Notes\t000  Bibliography\t000  Index\t000","brand":"Stanford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49405545251159,"sku":"9780804741361","price":22.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780804741361.jpg?v=1730492784","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/matchbook-9780804741361","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
