Description
Andrew J. McKenna explores the connections between Rene Girard's anthropology and Jacques Derrida's literary theory in this thought-provoking work.
McKenna seeks to develop an interpretive strategy that reconciles deconstruction with its often criticized superficiality, aiming to "salvage" it from its perceived sterility.
This book offers a nuanced examination of the intersections between two influential intellectual traditions, shedding new light on their key concepts and ideas.
