Who can say "I am Jewish?" What does "Jew" mean? What especially does it mean for Jacques Derrida, founder of deconstruction, scoffer at boundaries and fixed identities, explorer of the indeterminate and undecidable? In Portrait of Jacques Derrida as a Young Jewish Saint, French feminist philosopher Hélène Cixous follows the intertwined threads of Jewishness and non-Jewishness that play through the life and works of one of the greatest living ...

Ankunft, Erscheinen und Verschwinden ihres Kindes, das Jahrzehnte nach seinem Tod in die Erinnerung zurückkehrt, werden zum umstürzenden Ereignis im Denken und Schreiben der Erzählerin. Das ungewöhnliche Kind gehört einem mythischen Geschlecht an: "Heutzutage sagt man nicht mehr Mongole [...] Trisomie 21, so der empfohlene medizinische Terminus." Mit der Ankunft des Kindes kehrt sich plötzlich alles um. "An der Stelle der Schrift: mein Sohn, g...

Death Shall Be Dethroned is the "shadow book" of Los, a Chapter, Hélène Cixous tells us. It came along after Los, but it was always thereÑhidden in her notebooks, in the Beethoven notebook, say, the one Jacques Derrida gave her. But when it tapped at the window, she ignored it until the day she had to let it in. This is just of one the enigmas Death explores as it probes an old relationship between the narrator and "Carlos." Another is her dis...

In writing "Le Livre de Promethea" Helene Cixous set for herself the task of bridging the immeasurable distance between love and language. She describes a love between two women in its totality, experienced as both a physical presence and a sense of infinity. The result is a stunning example of Pecriture feminine that won kudos when published in France in 1983. Its translation into English by Betsy Wing will extend the influence of a writer al...

Hélène Cixous has dreamed for years of "The Book-I-Don't-Write, " but each time she approaches it, it withdraws. The-Book-I-Don't-Write is always just out of reach. When Jacques Derrida told her the Book would get written one day, but differently, Cixous tells us she would see it "shining behind a veil, its indecipherable back, upright on heaven's bookshelf, its elegant silhouette, utterly foreign, utterly familiar, of future revenant. I've al...

Die Ursache des Schreibens, wo liegt sie? Immer wieder warnt die Autorin ihre Leser: "Ich werde dieses Buch nicht schreiben", und doch bahnt sie das Buch Wege ans Licht der Seiten und umschreibt in bebenden Rucken und heftigen Erschütterungen die zertrümmernde Begegnung mit G. Die Liebe zu G. war nicht Liebe zu G., sondern in Wahrheit Liebe zur Literatur. Ja, dass es G. gar nicht gab, dass er Zitat, Abschrift, Imitation und Zusammenschnitt au...

I used to feel guilty at night. I live in, I always used to live in two countries, the diurnal one and the continuous very tempestuous nocturnal one.... What a delight to head off with high hopes to night's court, without any knowledge of what may happen! Where shall I be taken tonight! Into which country? Into which country of countries?" -- Hélène Cixous, from Dream I Tell YouFor years, Hélène Cixous has been writing down fragments of her dr...

The texts that comprise this volume were selected from Cixous' seminars on the work of Clarice Lispector. They reflect Cixous' meditations on the art of reading, writing and related themes such as giving and loving as well as trace the influence of Lispector on Cixous' own development.

A dialogue between its two authors, this work seeks to uncover the veiled structures of language and society that have excluded women, and is an exposition of Cixous's strategy of "ecriture feminine". It also explores what is hidden and repressed in culture.
