Publisher's Note
'Posts' is a collection of original essays that relate the ethical to the problematic of the text as a post or a sending. This book's innovative studies of reconstruction, psychoanalysis, and genealogy phrase the ethical as the question of how to read and write after without either a decidable sender or a predetermined addressee.

Industry Reviews
A consideration of ethics in the work of the postmodern five (Derrida, Lyotard, Lacan, Kristeva, Foucault) and their North American critics, not clarifying deconstructionist critique or illuminating its concepts but rather continuing the dialogue between nothing and nothing and the privileged and the other. Argued from within a deconstructionist point of view, the question seems to be whether postmodernism's a priori assumption of itself has any validity; Therefore, McCance's (St. John's College, Canada) discussion of ethics in a world where writers don't exist, writing for an audience that cannot be determined is the kind of twisted play postmoderns love. Confusing? It's intellectual brain gymnastics on the cutting edge of literary theory -- welcome to the brave new world. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
