Shamefully I have to admit I came across Derrida & zombies in "Introducing Derrida" (Jeff Collins, Bill Mayblin, Totem Books, 1997), pp. 20-23. Intellectual fun for beginners!

Henry: where does Derrida talk about zombies? I'm aware of his take on werewolves of course which I used in a paper on Ginger Snaps (forthcoming in the next issue of JumpCut), though I focus much more on Agamben.

Derrida is interested in zombies in so far as they represent an instance of the binary alive/dead deconstruction, i.e. being undead they are both alive and dead at the same time.
