He examines this and several other tightly knit motifs in Derrida's work: mourning, survival, the phantasm, the event, and most significantly, the term \u003ci\u003esalut\u003c\/i\u003e, which in French means at once greeting and salvation. An underlying concern of \u003ci\u003eThe World after the End of the World\u003c\/i\u003e is whether a discourse on \u003ci\u003esalut\u003c\/i\u003e (saving, being saved, and salvation) can be dissociated from discourse on religion. Saghafi compares Derrida's thought along these lines with similar concerns of Jean-Luc Nancy's. Combining analysis of these themes with reflections on personal loss, this book maintains that, for Derrida, salutation, greeting, and welcoming is resistant to the economy of salvation. This resistance calls for what Derrida refers to as a \"spectro-poetics\" devoted to and assigned to the other's singularity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"State University of New York Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54410274275672,"sku":"9781438478203","price":34.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781438478203.jpg?v=1777895157","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/world-after-the-end-of-the-world","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
