Deconstruction and the Remainders of Phenomenology: Sartre, Derrida, Foucault, Baudrillard

By Tilottama Rajan

Book Overview

This book aims to disentangle two terms that were conflated in the initial Anglo-American appropriation of French theory: deconstruction and poststructuralism. Focusing on Sartre, Derrida, Foucault, and Baudrillard (but also considering Levinas, Blanchot, de Man, and others), it deals with the turn from a deconstruction inflected by phenomenology to a poststructuralism formed by its rejection of models based on consciousness in favor of ones based on language and structure.
