I believe Carsten Sestoft is correct about Bourdieu and partly correct about
Derrida, but incorrect about Lyotard.  In addition to his position at the
Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales, Derrida also teachs one
quarter per year at the University of California at Irvine, affiliated I
believe with the Departments of French and Comparative Literature.  Lyotard
no longer teachs at Vincennes, which has been closed for several years.  He
is emeritus professor at the Universite de Paris--Saint Denis (I'm not
entirely certain he taught at Saint Denis, although I am sure he is
Emeritus) and he also teachs one semester each year at Emory University in
Atlanta.
