During the 197576 academic year, Jacques Derrida delivered a seminar, La vie la mort (Life Death), at the cole normale suprieure, in Paris. Based on archival translations of this untapped but soon-to-be-published seminar, The Reproduction of Life Death offers an unprecedented study of Derridas engagement with molecular biology and genetics, particularly the work of the biologist Franois Jacob.
Structured as an itinerary of three rings, each departing from and coming back to Nietzsche, Derridas seminar ties Jacobs logocentric account of reproduction to the reproductive program of teaching that characterizes the academic institution, challenging this mode of teaching as auto-reproduction along with the concept of academic freedom on which it is based. McCance also brings Derridas critique of Jacobs theory of auto-reproduction together with his reading of reproductivity, the tendency to repeat-reproduce, that is theorized and enacted in Freuds Beyond the Pleasure Principle. The book further shows how Derridas account of life death relates to his writings on autobiography and the signature and to such later concerns as the question of the animal.
McCance brings extensive archival research together with a deep knowledge of Derridas work a background in genetics to offer a fascinating new account of an encounter between philosophy and the hard sciences that will be of interest to theorists in a wide range of disciplines concerned with the question of life.
