Join us for a panel discussion reflecting on the importance of Jacques Derrida’s book Of Grammatology in their life and work with:
- Ben Baer, Princeton University
- Eduardo Cadava, Princeton University
- Mireille Calle-Gruber, Sorbonne Nouvelle–Paris 3
- Avital Ronell, New York University
- Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, Columbia University
- Moderated by Souleymane Bachir Diagne, Columbia University.
Including a performance by pianist and Columbia scholar Yohann Ripert.
This fortieth-anniversary edition of Jacques Derrida’s influential book, which Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak retranslates with greater awareness of Derrida’s legacy, also includes a new Afterword by her which supplements the original Translator’s Preface. Judith Butler has added an introduction and all references have been updated. This new release of Of Grammatology is a milestone in the history of an indispensable work of contemporary critical philosophy.
