Soliciting David Wills
View through CrossRef
Solicitation was the theme of David Wills’ keynote at the Derrida Today Conference in London in 2016. As an after-echo of that event, at the Derrida Today Conference in Athens in 2024, this postcard stages a solicitation of David Wills by way of some of the key themes in his work from Prosthesis to Killing Times and in conversation with the ideas of thinkers he reads, including Derrida and Cixous. Solicitation is thrown into deconstruction, with the suggestion that Wills’ thought might in turn come to tremble.
