Description

Clang brings together two influential thinkers in a groundbreaking juxtaposition. This new translation presents Jacques Derrida's 1974 work, originally published in French, as a unique dialogue between the philosophical system of G.W.F. Hegel and the literary and autobiographical writings of Jean Genet.

The book's innovative structure features parallel texts on either side of the page, with notes and interpolations in the margins. This format allows Derrida to graft theoretical thinking onto the existing discourses, creating a new form of philosophical practice. The result is a vibrant and discordant dialogue between two incompatible systems: Hegel's hierarchical thought and Genet's carceral erotics.

Clang highlights the significance of encounters across ruptures in thought or experience, and explores the impact of conflicting languages colliding. This book will appeal to readers interested in philosophy, literary theory, and critical studies.
