Format:Paperback
This is Derrida's most sustained work on aesthetics. Its trajectory is to explore the margins of the work of art as a seperate, unique totality. To do this, Derrida investigates how we talk about art, especially in the writings of Kant, whose discussions of the relationship between the 'work' and its 'parergon' form the heart of Derrida's text.
This is an important and rewarding book, but, be warned! It is one of the most demanding of Derrida's texts currently available in English, and it is absolutely not the best place to begin exploring the thought of this great, but challenging, thinker.

Very interesting book
15 Mar 2007
Format:Paperback
Derrida has a very complicated way of writing : it is not easy avoiding metaphors, the verb to be, the 'I'. Especially when the subject is art, beacause it is exactly the realm of the aesthetic, the subjective, the presence. This, I think, is one of his most difficult texts.
This book sets to investigate the multiple questions that develop in the presence of Cezanne's proposal : Cezanne's aim is to tell the truth in painting.
What is the relation between truth anda beauty, language and image, philosophy and art? Derrida investigates those in two large chapters called 'Parergon' and 'Van Gogh boots'.

The introduction was the most difficult chapter. After that, it actually starts to make some sense.

A must have for deconstruction aesthetics

A reading of Adami's reading of Derrida's Glas. Fantastic book. Recommended to those who want a new view of painting, art, and history in general.
