Recht auf Einsicht: Jacques Derrida, Marie-Françoise Plissart

Edition Passagen began with a book that was unusual in every respect. For the first time, a "photo novel" appeared in a philosophical series, and even opened it. A series of photographs. And a text by Jacques Derrida.
The combination of Marie-Françoise Plissart's photographs and Jacques Derrida's text radically breaks with the traditions and norms of philosophical discourse. The uncatchable richness of meaning of a series of photographs is repeated in Jacques Derrida's polylogenic text, which is no longer tamed by philosophical conventions. It is pointless to search for the one "correct" meaning in the photographs and their sequence. It is also pointless to try to pin down the diversity of voices in Jacques Derrida's text to one statement. - "You will never know, nor will you, all the stories that I was able to tell myself while looking at these pictures."
