Is it possible to give without immediately entering into a circle of exchange that turns the gift into a debt to be returned? This question leads Jacques Derrida to make out an irresolvable paradox at what seems the most fundamental level of the gift's meaning: for the gift to be received as a gift, it must not appear as such, since its mere appearance as gift puts it in the cycle of repayment and debt. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDerrida reads the relation of time to gift through a number of texts: Heidegger's \u003ci\u003eTime and Being, \u003c\/i\u003e Mauss's \u003ci\u003eThe Gift, \u003c\/i\u003e as well as essays by Benveniste and Levi-Strauss that assume Mauss's legacy. It is, however, a short tale by Baudelaire, \"Counterfeit Money,\" that guides Derrida's analyses throughout. At stake in his reading of the tale, to which the second half of this book is devoted, are the conditions of gift and forgiveness as essentially bound up with the movement of dissemination, a concept that Derrida has been working out for many years. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor both readers of Baudelaire and students of literary theory, this work will prove indispensable.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 182\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 01, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42706646892607,"sku":"9780226504315","price":72.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/131ca8b373435d915c2af1ac2170251f.webp?v=1765041210","url":"https:\/\/dhl-adrianne.myshopify.com\/products\/given-time-i-counterfeit-money-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
