USM Philosophy Symposium Film Series: Derrida's Elsewhere
An exploration of the man and his ideas, Derrida's Elsewhere investigates the parallels between the personal life and the life work of arguably the most important philosopher of the 20th Century, Jacques Derrida. We follow Derrida around his home, office, in the classroom and on his travels as he speaks of the suffering, the challenges and the questions that have conditioned his thought since his childhood in Algeria. The film is woven around readings from Derrida's book Circumfession, evoking a number of seemingly disparate themes including hospitality, religion, sexuality and the place of the subject in philosophy. Followed by discussion with USM Professor of Philosophy. 68 min.
