Here's an article on the copyright suit against Heidegger en castellano. There's some quaint touches. I liked the bit about Derrida's widow getting royalty checks. Marguerite Derrida's a psychoanalyst, and perhaps was the primary bread earner in their family. I can't imagine that French published books sold in Argentina amount to many zeros on those checks. It's more likely professor Potel's web site helped sales, by allowing destitute students an introduction to Derrida, so that they might later buy some books when they can afford them. I also liked the bit about students in the provinces not having access to urban bookstores. Is there somewhere Amazon doesn't deliver?
