Page "Jacques Derrida" Paragraph 102

Beginning with " The Deaths of Roland Barthes " in 1981, Derrida produced a series of texts on mourning and memory occasioned by the loss of his friends and colleagues, many of them new engagements with their work.

Memoires for Paul de Man, a book-length lecture series presented first at Yale and then at Irvine as Derrida's Wellek Lecture, followed in 1986, with a revision in 1989 that included " Like the Sound of the Sea Deep Within a Shell: Paul de Man's War ".

Ultimately, fourteen essays were collected into The Work of Mourning ( 2001 ), which was expanded in the 2003 French edition Chaque fois unique, la fin du monde ( literally, The end of the world, unique each time ) to include essays dedicated to Gérard Granel and Maurice Blanchot.
