Based on archival translations of this untapped but soon-to-be-published seminar, \u003ci\u003eThe Reproduction of Life Death\u003c\/i\u003e offers an unprecedented study of Derrida's engagement with molecular biology and genetics, particularly the work of the biologist François Jacob.\u003cbr\u003e Structured as an itinerary of \"three rings,\" each departing from and coming back to Nietzsche, Derrida's seminar ties Jacob's logocentric account of reproduction to the reproductive program of teaching that characterizes the academic institution, challenging this mode of teaching as auto-reproduction along with the concept of \"academic freedom\" on which it is based. McCance also brings Derrida's critique of Jacob's theory of auto-reproduction together with his reading of reproductivity, the tendency to repeat-reproduce, that is theorized and enacted in Freud's \u003ci\u003eBeyond the Pleasure Principle\u003c\/i\u003e. The book further shows how Derrida's account of \u003ci\u003elife death\u003c\/i\u003e relates to his writings on autobiography and the signature and to such later concerns as the question of the animal.\u003cbr\u003e McCance brings extensive archival research together with a deep knowledge of Derrida's work a background in genetics to offer a fascinating new account of an encounter between philosophy and the hard sciences that will be of interest to theorists in a wide range of disciplines concerned with the question of life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAbbreviations of Works by Jacques Derrida\u003c\/i\u003e   ix\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eIntroduction \u003c\/b\u003e  1\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e1.\u003c\/b\u003e Double Helix   9\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e2.\u003c\/b\u003e Schools of Life   33\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e3.\u003c\/b\u003e Institutions of the \"Yes\"   51\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e4. \u003c\/b\u003eSpeaking into a Dead Man's Ear   74\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e5. \u003c\/b\u003eLife Worth More Than Life   97\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e6.\u003c\/b\u003e The Movement of a \u003ci\u003ePas \u003c\/i\u003e  125\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e7.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci\u003eRhythmos \u003c\/i\u003e  147\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eAcknowledgments \u003c\/i\u003e  151\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eNotes \u003c\/i\u003e  153\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eWorks Cited \u003c\/i\u003e  177\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eIndex \u003c\/i\u003e  187\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Fordham University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52580332503320,"sku":"9780823283910","price":69.76,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-reproduction-of-life-death-derridas-la-vie-la-mort-hardback-9780823283910","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
