The advent of electronic technology not only recasts ancient puzzles about the relation between recording and remembering, but also poses new question about the ways in which prosthetic devices both supplement and constitute subjectivity. In 'Archive Fever,' Derrida develops a patient and rigorous reading of the presuppositions and implications of infomatic culture. We ignore the urgent problems he probes in this important and timely book at our own peril." "...'Archive Fever' is impressive: it is a coin stamped on both sides YES, YES, with Derrida's own image and signature. Appropriately enough, such 'doubly immodest' self-affirmation reminds me of an old yarn. When told that his book on Kant was not very good, Heidegger supposedly said that 'It may not be good Kant, but it is excellent Heidegger.' Similarly, and without putting words in Derrida's mouth, 'Archive Fever' may not bee good Freud, but it is excellent Derrida." Publisher's noteIn his latest work, Jacques Derrida deftly guides us through an extended meditation on remembrance, religion, time, and technology--all fruitfully occasioned by a deconstructive analysis of the notion of archiving. The archival concept has of late played a pivotal role in critical debate. A place of origin, yet of perpetuity, a place of stasis and order, yet of discovery, the notion of archive houses a fascinating complex of diverse, and often disparate, meanings.
