Review
“The project of transcoding Sartrean language into the Derridean coordinates, and vice-versa, is an unseasonable one whose reward lies in the defamiliarization of both. Martinot’s minute, technical readings avoid all facile ideological generalizations and send us back to the original texts with new eyes.” —Fredric Jameson
