Reproduction of Life Death

Based on archival translations of Derrida’s as-yet untapped (1975-76) La vie la mort seminar, McCance’s The Reproduction of Life Death offers an unprecedented study of Derrida’s engagement both with the logic of reproduction held by 1970s molecular biology and genetics and with reproductivity as theorized and performed by Freud in Beyond the Pleasure Principle.

Bazat pe traducerile de arhiva ale seminarului La vie la mort, inca neexploatat (1975-76), The Reproduction of Life Death de McCance ofera un studiu fara precedent al angajamentului lui Derrida atat cu logica reproducerii detinuta de biologia moleculara si genetica din anii 1970, cat si cu reproductivitatea ca teoretizat si interpretat de Freud in Dincolo de principiul placerii.
