OLR devotes itself to outstanding writing in deconstruction, literary theory, psychoanalytic theory, political theory and related forms of exploratory thought. Founded in 1977 it remains responsive to new concerns and committed to patient, inventive reading as the wellspring of critical research. It has published work by many trailblazing thinkers and seeks to take forward the movement of deconstructive thought in the face of as many forms and institutions as possible. The journal publishes both general issues and special issues, each of the latter featuring a provocative theme (e.g. ‘The Word of War’, ‘Telepathies,’ or ‘Disastrous Blanchot’). It invites relevant contributions across a wide range of intellectual disciplines on issues and writers belonging to or engaging the work of deconstructive thinking (such as Derrida, Heidegger, Blanchot, Levinas, Irigaray, and others).

The aim of Skepsi’s editorial board is twofold: to honour the spirit of SECL by striving to take advantage of its unique position as a crossroads in academic studies in Europe and to become a forum for European postgraduate researchers and postdoctoral scholars by developing collective thinking processes in the context of academic research. Our title, Skepsi — which comes from the Ancient Greek ‘σεφς [skepsis]’ or ‘enquiry’ and the Modern Greek ‘σχέφς [sképsis]’ or ‘thought’ — symbolises our will to explore new areas and new methods in the traditional fields of academic research in the Humanities and Social Sciences.

  • Supplement, 8 Oct
    SCE REPORTS Richard A. Barney University of Virginia A SELECTED BIBLIOGRAPHY OF DECONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM What Ihab Hassan has said of criticism in gen- eral seems also true of deconstruction: there are "paracritics, metacritics, cryptocritics, hypocrit- ics, uncanny critics," and countless others who have contributed to the corpus of this new criti- cism (SCER 6, p. 74). Since 1967, when Jacques Derrida first published De la gramatologie, the number of scholars using "deconstruc tive" warrants , with their own variations, has grown at a phenom- enal rate. With this state of affairs in mind, I have chosen to focus this bibliography on eight literary critics who have made important contribu- tions to an American "version" of deconstruction: Roland Barthes, Paul de Man, Jacques Derrida, Eugenio Dona to, Barbara Johnson, J. Hillis Miller, Joseph N. Riddel, and William V. Spanos. Their work is also particularly relevant to the 1980 MLA session of the Society for Critical Exchange. In addition, I have included a limited selection of reviews, articles, and books by scholars who have commented on, critiqued, or challenged their work. Copyright @ 1980 Each of these critics, except perhaps Jacques by Derrida and Barbara Johnson, has shifted from ad- The Society for Critical Exchange, Inc. vocating the tradition of "presence" to endorse and Richard A.

  • Saint-Je Derrida
    Saint-Je Derrida Laurent Milesi Question: * W h a t animal would you be if you could be an animal?' Answer: 'You already are an animal'.1 In the interview with Derek Attridge on 'This Strange Institution Called Literature' Derrida muses over the narcissistic' moment of his adolescent desire to write and seek a place from which the history of the frontier between philosophy and literature could be thought anew. Autobiography is suggested as the 'least adequate' term for the attempt to remember this obscure yet compulsive desire or 'dream of keeping a trace of all the voices which were traversing me - or were almost doing so, 'the unique event whose trace one would like to keep alive', and his ongoing obsession 'to save in uninterrupted inscription, in the form of a memory, what happens - or fails to happen, Confessing to a penchant for a certain practice of fiction, 'the intrusion of an effective simulacrum or of disorder into philosophical writing' (rather than reading novels or the telling and invention of stories), Derrida then points out that this 'irrepressible need [... ] would refuse to show itself so long as it has not cleared a space or organized a dwelling-place suited to the animal which is still curled up in its hole half asleep.'2 It is such a configuration of the trace, simulation and autobiography that I would like to investigate and extend in relation to the Derridean reproblematization of the animal. Rather than conjuring up the procession of those real or Active beasts that have transited through Derrida's texts - a textual

    º1111 2 JACQUES DERRIDA 3 4 5111 6 7 8 9 10111 11 2 3111 4 5 6 7 1118 ‘Excellent, strong, clear and original’. Jacques Derrida. 9 ‘A strong, inventive and daring book that does much more than most introductions are 20111 capable of even dreaming’. Diane Elam, Cardiff University. 1 ‘Readers couldn’t ask for a more authoritative and knowledgeable guide. Although there 2 is no playing down of the immensity of the implications of Derrida’s work, Royle’s direct and often funny mode of address will make it less threatening than it can often 3 appear to beginners’. Derek Attridge, University of York. 4 In this entertaining and provocative introduction, Royle offers lucid explanations of var- 5 ious key ideas, including deconstruction, differance and the democracy to come. He also 6 gives attention, however, to a range of perhaps less obvious topics, such as earthquakes, 7 animals and animality, ghosts, monstrosity, the poematic, drugs, gifts, secrets, war and 8 mourning. Derrida is seen as an extraordinarily inventive thinker, as well as a brilliantly 9 imaginative and often very funny writer. Other critical introductions tend to highlight the specifically philosophical nature and genealogy of his work. Royle’s book proceeds 30111 in a new and different way, in particular by focusing on the crucial but strange place of 1 literature in Derrida’s writings. He thus provides an appreciation and understanding 2 based on detailed reference to Derrida’s texts, interwoven with close readings of liter- 3 ary works. In doing so, he explores Derrida’s consistent view that deconstruction is a 4 ‘coming-to-terms with literature’.

  • The Politics of Community in Contemporary British Fiction Peter Matthew Kieran ELY a Thesis Submitted to Kingston University In
    1 The Politics of Community in Contemporary British Fiction Peter Matthew Kieran ELY A thesis submitted to Kingston University in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of Doctor of Philosophy February 2019 2 Acknowledgements So many people have helped to make this thesis happen. My supervisor Sara Upstone has been a most constant, generous and challenging interlocutor. Also, I thank Tina Chanter and Peter Hallward for their help on some chapters, as well as the English and Philosophy departments at Kingston University, the students and staff of which have been a continual source of inspiration. Particular thanks are warranted for Alva Gotby, Chris Law, Iain Campbell, Isabell Dahms, Robert Kiely, Katie McCain and Michael Washington who have offered many useful insights for my project. The warmest thanks are due to my family who have been so generous in their support for this project. Abstract This thesis draws on the work of philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy to propose ‘community’ as a conceptual and hermeneutical figure that opens up productive possibilities in the study of contemporary British literature. Community is advanced as a form of political ontology, which moves beyond contingent appearance toward radical possibilities for transformation in the current political landscape. Particular attention is paid to the way in which community is ‘put to work’ as part of the operation of the capitalist state, where community emerges as a central site of political contestation. Community is demonstrated as offering ways of rethinking the figure of ‘politics’ itself, opening avenues for developing its meaning through emergent theories of ‘gender’, the ‘queer’ and ‘trans’.
