On Futurity Malabou, Nancy and Derrida [Hardcover]

This book explores how deconstruction addresses the issue of futurity in the act of writing and translation. It focuses on three French expressions - venue, survenue, and voir-venir - taken from the work of Jacques Derrida, Jean-Luc Nancy, and Catherine Malabou, and offers fresh insights, proposing the possibility of a multiplicity of structures.Foreword Introduction PART 1: Voir Venir: Catherine Malabou's The Future of Hegel PART 2: Survenue: Jean-Luc Nancy's The There is of Sexual Relations PART 3: Venue: Jacques Derrida's Aporias Conclusion
