ABOUT THIS SITE
Jacques Derrida died in Paris on Friday, October 8,
2004. The first occasion for this site was an obituary
published by the New York Times on October 10, 2004,
deemed by many of Jacques' colleagues, friends, and
supporters to be unjust, disrespectful, and
unbalanced. A LETTER written by Samuel Weber and
Kenneth Reinhard to the New York Times quickly
gathered so many signatures that we realized a web
site was needed to record the names of those who
wished to be heard.

The list includes professors and students, architects
and designers, poets, novelists and playwrights,
musicians and artists. The length and diversity of the
list indicates the broad impact that Derrida’s work
has had on so many corners of intellectual and
artistic life. The School of Humanities at the
University of California, Irvine is proud to host this
site in honor of its esteemed Distinguished Professor,
who served our graduate programs for so many years.

We also realized that many people would want to sign
their names in a broader memorial act attesting to the
ongoing power of Jacques’ teaching, writing, and life.
