About this title

Review:

'This brief, incisive book is...made up of small, often witty, acts of translation.' - Satish Padiyar, Parallax

Synopsis:

This book explores the ways deconstruction addresses the issue of futurity (what Jacques Derrida calls the 'to-come,' [l'---venir]). In order to achieve this, it focuses on three French expressions, venue, survenue, and voir-venir, each taken from the work of Jacques Derrida, Jean-Luc Nancy, and Catherine Malabou. The idea behind this focus is to elude the issue of the one and only 'to-come,' as if this was a uniform and coherent entity or structure of experience, and to put forward instead the possibility of a multiplicity of structures, each with a different intonation or pitch. Overall, this book makes an original contribution to the way deconstruction addresses the issue of futurity in the act of writing and translation.
