<p>At the beginning of last year, I was involved briefly in a reading group at the University of Sussex, the topic of which was the writings of Jacques Derrida. I wrote, at that point, a computer program to generate nicely presented versions of my notes and hereby present the resulting notes because the domain they were hosted on is now set to expire and I have no interest in maintaining it further.</p>
<h2>Notes on the writings of Jacques Derrida</h2>
<h3>Preamble</h3>
<p>This site is designed to offer, under the terms of the GFDL, my notes on the writings of Jacques Derrida. It is a work in progress; indeed, only just begun. All notes are available in XHTML (Web), PDF (Adobe Reader) and ODT (OpenOffice) formats. The styling is deliberately sparse; the works here are functional. </p>
<p>Many thanks go to: Robin Bagon and Katie Reid for their insightful comments and discussions. The XHTML versions of the notes are created with the aid of a piece of software entitled, aptly, <a href="https://launchpad.net/xhtmlnotes">xhtmlnotes</a> which I have written and which is released under the terms of the GPL.</p>
<p>All content on this site is copyright (c) 2009 <a href="http://www.martineve.com">Martin Eve</a>. Works are licenced under the GFDL, more information about which is available at the <a href="http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html">GFDL website</a>.</p>
