By Martin McQuillan
The way forward for deconstruction lies within the skill of its practitioners to mobilise the tropes and pursuits of Derrida's texts into new areas and artistic readings. In Deconstruction with no Derrida, Martin McQuillan units out to just do that, to proceed the duty of deconstructive interpreting either with and with no Derrida.
The book's relevant topic is an consciousness to situations of deconstruction except or past Derrida and hence imagining a destiny for deconstruction after Derrida. This destiny is either the current of deconstruction and its prior. The readings offered during this publication tackle the multiplied box of deconstruction within the paintings of Jean-Luc Nancy, Helene Cixous, Paul de guy, Harold Bloom, J. Hillis Miller, Judith Butler, Gayatri Spivak and Catherine Malabou. additionally they, inevitably, deal with Derrida's personal readings of this paintings. McQuillan debts for an event of otherness in deconstruction that's, has been and continually should be past Derrida, simply as deconstruction continues to be without end tied to Derrida through an invisible, indestructible thread.

Secondly, surely Nancy is confusing two dissimilar things here, the first ‘religion’ which is a mode of interpreting texts and ‘art and literature’ which are texts. indd 39 7/12/2001 7:37:56 AM 40 Deconstruction without Derrida quite capable of assuming (even believing in) the sameness of the other with the best of them. We are urged to ‘hear these terms in all their truth’ but their ambiguity and elasticity (which is also their truth) seems to be interfering with my philosophical hearing aid. Thirdly, it is not clear to me that ‘belief ’ should be so readily tied to religion and ‘faith’ not so.
This can all be read as a consideration of preparable religion, or, revelation through clarity. e. Isaiah, not Isaac who was almost sacrificed by his Father as a result of pre-parable revelation) concerning less figurative presentations of the good news. e. indd 32 7/12/2001 7:37:55 AM Toucher II: Keep Your Hands to Yourself 33 should heal them’. Nancy’s reading of this must be that the parables are designed to prevent the unblocking of ears and sight and to prevent conversion. However, one might also say that the important word in this sentence is ‘lest’, which can be read with Nancy to suggest ‘so that they do not’ but equally as meaning ‘unless’, that is, that at some point they should hear the meaning of these parables and be healed.
The difficulty Nancy has set up for himself by a gesture which simultaneously universalizes religion and all art and literature (as if they were to be received in the same way) leads his text into a constant negotiation between its own contradictory impulses to philosophize and to deconstruct. At the end of it, what has been heard, what we have been listening to, and what has been eclipsed is still in considerable doubt. indd 40 7/12/2001 7:37:56 AM Toucher II: Keep Your Hands to Yourself 41 The Nancy code Let me conclude this chapter, and so make a return to the remit and ambit of touch, by accounting for Nancy’s reading of the ‘noli me tangere’ to suggest that this very text and its numerous representations might present difficulties for Nancy’s hypothesis concerning literature and art.
