'Did the revelation of Paul de Man’s involvement with the collaborationist Belgian journal Le Soir during World War II inaugurate a ‘turn’ in Jacques Derrida’s thought and work?'
Although Derrida insisted that 'de Man had radically broken with his past of 1940-42,' his readings of de Man's wartime journalism encode an anxiety pertaining not only to de Man himself, but to what is at stake in de Man's problematic legacy to deconstruction.
