The word "puppet" derives from the Latin "pupa," which means "girl" or "doll." The assignation of the term "puppet" to this likeness of Derrida is therefore problematic, for it (and he) is neither "girl" or "doll" in the traditional sense. The resulting gender confusion must then be acknowledged as one employs this Jacques Derrida finger puppet in any performative act. Oh, and there's a magnet in its head so you can stick it on your refrigerator too.

JACQUES DERRIDA
(July 15, 1930 - October 8, 2004)
Algerian-born French Jewish philosopher Jacques Derrida was one of the most influential philosophers of the 20th century, with a level of fame approaching that of a media star. In 1967 he arrived as a philosopher of importance with the publication of three books which introduced the term 'deconstruction,' a term to be associated with his work (often to his own dismay) for the rest of his life. Often controversial, Derrida's un- traditional approach remains very influential in the humanities, the arts, literature, psychology, cultural studies, linguistics, and political thinking.
