Sketch of Professor Jacques Derrida
Professor Jacques Derrida, professor emeritus, School of Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences, Paris, is one of the most productive and influential living French philosophers in the contemporary international academic arena. His published works, now over 60 volumes and translated into more than 10 languages, range from the field of philosophy to literary criticism, psychoanalysis, cultural studies, architecture, the fine arts and legal studies. His characteristic approach of reading, deconstruction, developed in three books published in 1967-- Speech and Phenomena, Writing and Difference and Of Grammatology--has produced wide spread impact since three decades on nearly every discipline in the humanities and the social sciences and continues to nourish fruitful discussions and studies across the globe. He has received numerous academic awards in France and abroad, and was conferred the degree of Doctor Honoris Causa by 14 universities in North America, Europe and Africa. During his present visit to China, he will also be conferred Doctor Honoris Causa by the Universities of Peking, Nanjing and Fudan.

Abstract of Prof. Derrida’s Lecture: “Globalization and Capital Punishment”
If we want to ask: “What is capital punishment?” or “What is the essence and meaning of capital punishment?”, we should reconstruct this history and this horizon of sovereignty as the hyphenation between the theologico-political… The history, the concept of history is perhaps linked, in its very possibility, in its scaffolding, to the Abrahamic history, especially Christian history, of sovereignty, and thus of the possibility of capital punishment as theologico-political violence. Deconstruction is perhaps always, ultimately, through the deconstruction of carno- phallogocentrism, the deconstruction of this historical scaffolding of capital punishment, of the history of this scaffold or of history as scaffolding of this scaffold. Deconstruction, what we call by this name, is perhaps, perhaps, perhaps the deconstruction of capital punishment, of logocentric, logo-nomocentric scaffolding in which capital punishment is inscribed or prescribed.
德里達教授 <全球化與死刑> 講辭摘要
如果要問“甚麼是死刑？”或者“死刑的本質與意義為何？”就必須重建作為神學政治統一特徵的主權之歷史與視域。……歷史、歷史概念可能在其可能性本身、在其構成中與主權之亞伯拉罕歷史，尤其是基督教歷史相連，因此，也與作為政治神學暴力的死刑可能性相連。今天，解構可能要經過肉身－陽具中心主義(carno－phallogocentrisme)的解構，去對死刑歷史這種建構及這種絞架歷史或者作為這種絞架建構過程的歷史進行解構。人們所稱的解構這個名詞，可能、也許、或許就是對死刑的解構、對死刑於其中被銘寫、被規定的羅格斯中心建構、是對羅格斯法律中心主義的解構。
