Derrida to Literature
from Professor Kozlowski Lectures · host Benjamin Kozlowski
Professor Kozlowski interprets Derrida's "This Strange Institution Called Literature" according to his own idea of Derrida's philosophical program, perhaps against the "stable" interpretation propagated by self-proclaimed Derrideans. Is this a valid act of interpretation, worthy of its own elevation to stability? May any act of interpretation be considered "less" or "more" valid than any other act of interpretation? Is the assumption of validity a vestige of phallogocentric modern philosophy? These and other questions.
