Going Postcard
Author: Vincent W. J. van Gerven Oei
Publisher: punctum books
ISBN: 0998531871
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
In 1980, Jacques Derrida published La carte postale: De Socrate a Freud et au-dela. At the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the English translation, Going Postcard: The Letter(s) of Jacques Derrida revisits this seminal work in Derrida's oeuvre. Derrida himself described The Post Card in his preface as "the remainders of a destroyed correspondence," stretching from 1977 to 1979. A cryptic text, it is riddled with gaps, word plays, and a meandering analysis of the interface between philosophy and psychoanalysis. The contributors who offered the fourteen essays gathered in Going Postcard were each provided with a deceptively simple task: to write a gloss to a fragment from the first part of The Post Card, "Envois." The result is a prismatic array of commentaries, excursions, and interpretations that take Derrida "to the letter." The different glosses on lemmas such as genre, erasure, telepathy, philately, and sperm transport The Post Card into the twenty-first century and offer a "correspondence," if fragmentary, with Derrida's work and the work to come. Contents J. Hillis Miller - Glossing the Gloss of "Envois" in The Post Card Michael Naas - Drawing Blanks Rick Elmore - Troubling Lines: The Process of Address in Derrida's The Post Card Nicholas Royle - Postcard Telepathy Wan-Chuan Kao - Post by a Thousand Cuts Eszter Timar - Ateleia/Autoimmunity Hannah Markley - Reading, Touching, Loving the "Envois" Eamonn Dunne - Entre Nous Zach Rivers - Derrida in Correspondances: A Telephonic Umbilicus Kamillea Aghtan - Glossing Errors: Notes on Reading the "Envois" Noisily Peggy Kamuf - Coming Unglued James E. Burt - Running with Derrida Julian Wolfreys - Perception-Framing-Love Dragan Kujundzic - Envoiles. Post It. Vincent W.J. van Gerven Oei - Postface

Postcards from Heaven
Author: Dan Gordon
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1416591923
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 122
Book Description
"Nearly all of us either have had or have heard of an experience in which a soul already departed reaches back to us who have been left behind.... Sometimes, it's no more than a whisper, a familiar smell in the air, or just the feeling of presence as vivid as when the loved one was still alive. These moments are just that...moments, a glimpse behind the veil; not a letter from heaven, but a postcard." (Dan Gordon, Postcards from Heaven) A postcard from heaven is not a revelation from on high -- rather, it's "a whisper, a familiar smell in the air, or just the feeling of presence" of someone who's passed away. It is just enough of a message to imply that what we call life is not ended by what we call death. Dan Gordon has been receiving these postcards all his life -- from his father, his older brother, and his son Zaki, who was killed in a car accident when he was only twenty-two. Postcards from Heaven is the beautiful, inspirational memoir of four generations of a remarkable family and how they remain interconnected, a part of one another's stories, even after passing to the other side. Here is the span of his father's long life, moving and funny, from the Russian Revolution to his improbable Depression-era courtship of a woman named Goddess -- Gordon's mother -- to his spiritual later years in Israel; his incorrigible older brother's mischievous magic, able to find humor even in cancer treatment; and his brilliant son, a natural storyteller who looked destined to follow his father into the movie business. These are the stories of their lives on earth as well as after death. Full of humor, compassion, and love, Postcards from Heaven comforts and assures us that those we loved can reach back to those of us still on earth -- and, if only we are attentive enough to listen, we can hear them say, Got here safe. It's really beautiful. Much love, till we meet again.
