Research Interests: My study interest nests primarily in deconstruction and aesthetics, and in the work of Jacques Derrida, in his disquieting inheritance of the tradition of metaphysics, as the latter is marked by events, trips, inscriptions in and from the history of meaning, to which it remains in addiction or withdrawal. With a background in contemporary art, wherefrom I am quitting or in exile for a reading broader and better founded in languages, such as French, Ancient Greek, besides my Russian, I aspire to understand and transmit deconstruction with its roots in phenomenology, absolute idealism, psychoanalysis, religion, political economy, translation, and literary theory...
