Aalborg University Guest Lecture, Oct. 18, 2004
"Forgiving
Derrida for Dying" is a short personal essay, detailing some of my
spectral memoirs of Jacques Derrida, 9-11 and life in the institutions.
It frames the movie Derrida in several senses,
ultimately reversing the movie's alternative title 'Chasing Derrida'
into 'Derrida Chasing (Me)'. Derrida's haunting of my autobiography is
told through a number of anechdotes about the multiple personae Derrida
embodies in the imagination of his audience.

This
lecture is one of four talks framing a screening of the movie. We call
the event 5 Faces of Derrida.
