Seen the Woody Allen film? Bought, devoured, and sold the comic books "for beginners"? You ain't seen nothing yet. "Deconstruction" is, it seems, everywhere, and Derrida follows. In quotation marks, nota bene.
Alexander Garcia Düttmann wins the grand prize for gratuitous invocation
of Derrida's name: in an appearance at Documenta X in Kassel entitled "Who is afraid of Jacques Derrida - Kulturspektakel" which had nothing whatsoever to do with Derrida or Derrida's work. With the right plugins, you can view the whole 40 minutes' rant online, http://www.mediaweb-tv.de or http://www.mediaweb-tv.com (both work).
Much beloved, utterly silly and now slightly dated: Scritti Politti's record, "I'm in love with Jacques Derrida". And thanks to J Christian Guerrero, here's a 782 k soundfile!
Less popular but no less musical: Eric Avery's trio, "Deconstruction" (American Recordings, 1994). Here are two soundfiles (238 k and 281 k, respectively), plus the lyrics and a discussion among the band members about the word Deconstruction. Yet another gratuitous use of the word: "Decoded and Danced Up - The Rhythms of Deconstruction" (Deconstruction Records/RCA 1992) Oil on Canvas, 1990: "Derrida queries de Man" - © 1994 by Mark Tansey (b. 1949); 83,75in x 55in, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston Doomed by Deconstructo: "Justice League Europe" 37 (150 k), 38 (160 k) and 39 (150 k), by Gerard Jones, Ron Randall and Randy Elliott (DC Comics, 1992) Toilet Humour: Steve Bell's cartoons about the Cambridge affair (The Guardian, 1992) That lyrical urge: poems for Jacques Derrida
