Derridada Duchamp as Readymade Deconstruction

"Jacques Derrida said that deconstruction "takes place everywhere." Derridada reexamines the work of artist Marcel Duchamp as one of these places. Thomas Deane Tucker suggests that Duchamp belongs to deconstruction as much as deconstruction belongs to Duchamp; both bear the infra-thin mark of the other. He explores these marks through the themes of time and differance, language and the readymade, and the construction of self-identity through art. Derridada will be of interest to students and scholars interested in modernism and the avant-garde, as well as art history, critical theory, philosophy, visual culture studies, and art theory."--BOOK JACKET.
