Deconstruction Is/In America - Anselm Haverkamp

      In the fall of 1993, the Poetics Institute and the Center for French Civilization at New York University took advantage of Jacques Derrida’s presence in New York for a conference on the present state of deconstruction in America—as evidenced, at least in part, by the yearly event of Derrida’s seminar at the Poetics Institute on The Politics and the Poetics of the Secret. Special thanks are due to Thomas Bishop, the chairman of the French Department of New York University, for organizing the conference from which the contributions for this volume derive or take their departure. He, together with the Center for French Civilization and the Florence Gould Foundation, made the event possible. The French and English Departments shared the work of presenting the conference, but special recognition is due to Carol Downey for her role in managing the important details. To Peggy Kamuf goes particular gratitude for her timely translation of Derrida’s contribution to this volume. Thanks also go to Anthony Reynolds for his help in completing the manuscript, and to Jane B. Malmo for her dedicated editorial work.

      Deconstruction is/as Neopragmatism?: Preliminary Remarks on Deconstruction in America

       Anselm Haverkamp

      The first part of the following is a revised version of the author’s opening remarks to the conference Deconstruction is /in America in the fall of 1993, which appears in this volume in a rearranged and supplemented form. The second part underlines some of the political implications of the conference after the event. The sketchy character is deliberate, since the intention of the conference was not to arrive at a new narrative on the subject of deconstruction but to offer a highly selective approach to certain problems. That other problems are missing or remain underrepresented is a part of the problem to being with.
