Introduction to Theory of Literature (ENGL 300)
In this second lecture on deconstruction, Professor Paul Fry concludes his consideration of Derrida and begins to explore the work of Paul de Man. Derridas affinity for and departure from Levi-Strausss distinction between nature and culture are outlined. De Mans relationship with Derrida, their similarities and differences--particularly de Mans insistence on "self-deconstruction" and his reliance on Jakobson--are discussed. The difference between rhetoric and grammar, particularly the rhetoricization of grammar and the grammaticization of rhetoric, is elucidated through de Mans own examples taken from "All in the Family," Yeats "Among School Children," and the novels of Proust.
