Deconstructing de Man
A scandal has erupted in the powerful school of literary criticism known as deconstruction. Recent relevations that Paul de Man, the Yale professor who founded the school in America, wrote more than one hundred articles for anti-Semitic, pro-Nazi newspapers in Belgium during World War II, has generated a great deal of comment about both the author and the politics of deconstruction. De Man, who died in 1984 at age 65, had concealed his political past from colleagues and students, who were shocked and dismayed by the relevations. In the month or so since his past was brought to light de Man has become something of an academic Waldheim.
