| Abstract | This article explores the metamorphosis of Jacques Derrida’s deconstruction through its engagement with life, death, and technics, emphasizing its reinterpretation by Bernard Stiegler. Beginning with Derrida’s deconstruction of the life/death opposition and the concept of arche-writing as central to the history of life, it examines Stiegler’s extension of these ideas through his notion of epiphylogenesis—the exteriorization of memory via technics. The paper highlights continuities and divergences by comparing their approaches, showing how Stiegler deepens Derrida’s insights into technics while challenging anthropocentrism. Ultimately, the study positions technics as a critical factor in rethinking memory, temporality, and evolution, demonstrating its transformative implications for deconstruction. |
