Jacques Derrida (July 15, 1930 – October 8, 2004) was an Algerian-born French literary critic and philosopher of Jewish descent, most often referred to as the founder of "deconstruction" or, by less sympathetic theorists, "deconstructionism." His voluminous work had a great effect on continental philosophy and on literary theory, particularly through his long association with the literary critic Paul de Man. The reception of deconstruction, however, in literary criticism and philosophy is generally conceived to be in sparse agreement with Derrida's work due to the popular (mis-)conceptions of it. His work is often associated with post-structuralism and postmodernism; although, Derrida never used the latter term and repeatedly dissociated himself from it, and this serves as an example of a misconception. (Other scholars within deconstruction, such as Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe, have indeed characterized themselves as modernist rather than postmodernist in their outlook.)
Life
Derrida grew up in El-Biar, Algeria. As a young student, he was expelled from his lycée by Algerian administrators zealous to implement anti-Semitic quotas set by the Vichy government. He skipped school for a year rather than attend the Jewish lycée formed by displaced teachers and students. Following this, his family moved to France in 1949 to advance his secondary education, remaining until 1962 when they moved to Nice.
