Hi, where did this clip come from? I'd love to quote him for an essay I'm doing on photography.

Thank you!

Is he autobiographically rehersing Heidegger here? Is he actually claiming that he has a kind of _Being and Time_ 'be authentic to the teaching and anxcious in the face of death/Nazi/Will to power/control' kind of thing over his own image which he subsequently abandoned to releasment in the face of the realization of the impossibility of control- a realization that came about through his actions in the political sphere. That is, with some general exatitude, early to late Heidegger in miniature.

As with most things, I perfectly agree with Jacque.

It's better to conduct yourself on your primal, naturalistic urges than to ponder and probe every facet of your existence. Doesn't Derrida suffer from anxiety and angst from all this introspection? I went through this phase in my life and was utterly morbid.

he may have incidentally been recalling a period of his life spent in america

you're right he does. people for whom english is a second language often change accents without noticing if they learnt the language from teachers who themselves had different accents. my aunt once told me a story about the US and the UK and her accent made sudden and uncanny shifts with the topic. i thought she was joking but she had no idea she was doing it until i mentioned.
