Biodeconstruction

by Francesco Vitale (Author),‎ Mauro Senatore (Translator)

Analyzes Derrida’s 1975 seminar “La vie la mort” as a deconstruction of biology with relevance to his work more broadly.

Review
"This book is extremely interesting and engaging, and provides a very original and timely perspective on Derrida's work. Its greatest strength is bringing together Derrida's 'deconstruction' in his analysis of the life sciences under the heading of 'biodeconstruction.' This term is simple but ingenious, and captures beautifully the material dimension of Derrida's work." – Nicole Anderson, author of Derrida: Ethics Under Erasure
