Jonathan Rée on #Derrida#teaching#hospitalitywww.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

Image showing extract of text from the article by Rée. Text says: If Derrida was a philosophical traditionalist, however, he was also an innovator. He encouraged his students to approach the canon not as awestruck conservators, shielding old treasures from the light of criticism, nor as show-offs trying to impress, nor yet as asset-strippers extracting a few propositions and repurposing them either as objects of mockery or as maxims for their own use. He wanted them to become creative inheritors, keeping the classics vivid – in the manner, perhaps, of theatre directors who take old staples to new places, presenting Shylock as a woman, say, or Tannhäuser as gay. He hoped they would train themselves to pick up small conceptual tremors and slight verbal dislocations so that – like cattle detecting an imminent earthquake – they could be on their guard against impending catastrophes End quote
