Books by Dawne McCance

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.

Introduces the undergraduate student to Derrida's life and work. This volume offers an overview of Derrida's writing from the 1960s to his death in 2004, considering prominent terms, and some of the central issues, and philosophical and religious figures, his writing engages.
