Description: In Eternal Youth and the Myth of Deconstruction Bret Alderman puts forth a compelling thesis: Deconstruction tells a mythic story. Through an attentive examination of multiple texts and literary works he elucidates this story in psychological and philosophical terms. Deconstruction the method of philosophical and literary analysis originated by Jacques Derrida arises from what Carl Jung called a kind of readiness to produce over and over again the same or similar mythical ideas. In the case of deconstruction such ideas bear a striking resemblance to a figure that Jungian and Post - Jungian writers refer to as the puer aeternus or eternal youth. To make his case in addition to a careful analysis of numerous Derridean texts he offers readings of literary works by Milan Kundera J. M. Barrie Dante Apuleius and others. These texts help illustrate that deconstruction's preoccupations over questions of presence deferral authority limits time and representation are also recurrent issues for the eternal youth as described by Marie - Louise Von Franz and James Hillman. Judith Butler's deconstruction of sex and gender reflects similar patterns and she features in this work as a contemporary exemplar of the deconstructive approach. Eternal Youth and the Myth of Deconstruction will be a compelling read for both students and teachers of depth psychology and continental philosophy. The clarity of its style will be appealing to advanced scholars and educated laypersons alike.
