Espelhos do mal: arquivo e corrupção em Sade

Abstract

The article puts in contact the works and life of the Marquis de Sade - in whom the idea of transgression and destruction prevails - and several notions of archive, especially that of Jacques Derrida in Archive fever, in which the death drive rests upon what pertains to the order of conservation. If renewal from new consignments is the archive’s posterity condition, how can we read Sade in the 21st century?
