In Poetics of Deconstruction, Lynn Turner develops an intimate attention to independent films, art and the psychoanalyses by which they might make sense other than under continued license of the subject that calls himself man. Drawing extensively from Jacques Derrida's philosophy in precise dialogue with feminist thought, animal studies and posthumanism, this book explores the vulnerability of the living as rooted in non-oppositional differences. From abjection to mourning, to the speculative and the performative, it reposes concepts and buzzwords seemingly at home in feminist theory, visual culture and the humanities more broadly. Stepping away from the carno-phallogocentric legacies of the signifier and the dialectic, Poetics of Deconstruction asks you to welcome nonpower into politics, always sexual but no longer anchored in sacrifice.

Lynn Turner is Senior Lecturer in Visual Culture, Goldsmiths, University of London, UK. She is the co-editor of The Edinburgh Companion to Animal Studies (2017); co-author of Visual Cultures As… Recollection (2013); editor of The Animal Question in Deconstruction (2013) and an assistant editor of Derrida Today.
