{"product_id":"derridas-marrano-passover","title":"Derrida's Marrano Passover","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this first ever monograph on Jacques Derrida’s ‘Toledo confession’ – where he portrayed himself as ‘sort of a Marrano of the French Catholic culture’ – Agata Bielik-Robson shows Derrida’s \u003ci\u003emarranismo\u003c\/i\u003e to be a literary experiment of auto-fiction. She looks at all possible aspects of Derrida’s Marrano identification in order to demonstrate that it ultimately constitutes a trope of non-identitarian evasion that permeates all his works: just as Marranos cannot be characterized as either Jewish or Christian, so is Derrida’s ‘universal Marranism’ an invitation to think philosophically, politically and – last but not least – metaphysically without rigid categories of identity and belonging.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy concentrating on Derrida’s deliberate choice of \u003ci\u003emarranismo\u003c\/i\u003e, Bielik-Robson shows that it penetrates deep into the very core of his late thinking, constantly drawing on the literary works of Kafka, Celan, Joyce, Cixous and Valéry, and throws a new light on his early works, most of all: \u003ci\u003eOf Grammatology\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDissemination\u003c\/i\u003e and 'Différance'. She also offers a completely new interpretation of many of Derrida’s works only seemingly non-related to the Marrano issue, like \u003ci\u003eGlas\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eG\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eiven Time: Counterfeit Money\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDeath Penalty Seminar\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eSpecters of Marx\u003c\/i\u003e. In these new readings, this book demonstrates that the Marrano Derrida is not a marginal auto-biographical figure overshadowed by Derrida the Philosopher: it is one and the same thinker who discovered \u003ci\u003emarranismo\u003c\/i\u003e as a literary trope of openness, offering up a new genre of philosophical story-telling which centers around Derrida’s Marrano ‘auto-fable’.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing Plc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54223620374872,"sku":"9781501392610","price":107.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781501392610_34aea3e7-ce14-4b77-bcac-aeec67678318.jpg?v=1770275725","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/derridas-marrano-passover","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
