Sumario:Puts deconstruction into conversation with speculative realism for the first timeChallenges speculative realists' diagnosis of deconstruction as correlationismEstablishes grammatology as a distinctive speculative and materialist project whose aims and limits can be considered independently of those of deconstruction as a wholeShows the productivity of deconstructive materialism for developing a robust philosophical concept of plasticityDefends a deconstructive materialist approach to speculative debates about the nature of the post-human by critically engaging recent work in this fieldLooking mainly at Derrida's early work - the three texts published in 1967: Of Grammatology, Speech and Phenomenon and Writing and Difference - Deborah Goldgaber shows that grammatology implies an original form of philosophical materialism and identifies the salience of deconstructive materialism to contemporary philosophical debates. She demonstrates that Derrida's claims about writing's absolute generality - that writing pertains to more than just language - extend to living and material processes. However, though grammatology generalises writing, it radically displaces scriptural models with a novel schema, that of the mnemonic trace. Goldgaber highlights the productive resources that Derridean writing has to offer contemporary materialist projects, including those of Karen Barad, Catherine Malabou and Quentin Meillassoux. These fresh insights will inspire new dialogues among everyone interested in Derrida as well as in Speculative Realism and New Materialism.
