Jacques Derrida, the sacred other and Seventh-day Adventism stumbling on the creative play of différance in Genesis 1
No full textIncludes abstract.Includes bibliographical references.This thesis searches for that which is sacred to Jacques Derrida and ultimately concludes that if anything is sacred to him it is the other. This concern for the sacred is an attempt to ascertain Derrida’s relevance and value for religious traditions. Derrida’s ideas serve to destabilise (sacred) centres in religious traditions in order to find place for the (excluded) other. Hence, a central theme of this dissertation is that there are no stable centres. I have attempted to demonstrate this in the structure I have followed, a structure that is "centred on" decentring ideas that, while not arbitrary, could have been substituted for others: negative theology, the other, detours, khôra and différance
Literatura e ética: envios e repostagens de Jacques Derrida
Full text linkTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão. Programa de Pós-graduação em LiteraturaUm ato de hospitalidade só pode ser poético" é a sentença pronunciada por Jacques Derrida em um de seus seminários sobre a hospitalidade. Não será o tema. Apenas o interminável exergo para uma tarefa poética. Tarefa que, a seguir tal hospitalidade, deveria, ela mesma, só poder ser poética. Mas o poético é? Sobrelanço quase impensável, somos instigados com ele a refletir a respeito do domínio sobre o qual se sobrepõe aqui o poético ou que, razoavelmente, se esperaria no final da frase, a saber, o ético. A partir de algumas premissas de "envios" derridianos e do lugar epigramático do poema num discurso, procuramos algumas entradas entre ética e literatura, a destinação desta relação e sua relação com a destinação. Relação "sem relação", valeria frisar, mas que não diminui a responsabilidade. Comanda, antes, ou é comandada, pelo que chamamos provisoriamente de repostalidade. É, ao menos, uma repostalidade que deduzimos de um recurso a alguns textos assinados Derrida
Going Postcard: The Letter(s) of Jacques Derrida
Full text linkIn 1980, Jacques Derrida published La carte postale: De Socrate à Freud et au-delà. At the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the English translation, Going Postcard: The Letter(s) of Jacques Derrida revisits this seminal work in Derrida’s oeuvre. Derrida himself described The Post Card in his preface as “the remainders of a destroyed correspondence,” stretching from 1977 to 1979. A cryptic text, it is riddled with gaps, word plays, and a meandering analysis of the interface between philosophy and psychoanalysis. The contributors who offered the fourteen essays gathered in Going Postcard were each provided with a deceptively simple task: to write a gloss to a fragment from the first part of The Post Card, “Envois.” The result is a prismatic array of commentaries, excursions, and interpretations that take Derrida “to the letter.” The different glosses on lemmas such as genre, erasure, telepathy, philately, and sperm transport The Post Card into the twenty-first century and offer a “correspondence,” if fragmentary, with Derrida’s work and the work to come
A violência originária na teoria de justiça de John Rawls: uma crítica a partir de Jacques Derrida
Full text linkDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências Jurídicas. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Direito.O trabalho tem como finalidade verificar, à luz do texto Força de Lei: o fundamento místico da autoridade, de Jacques Derrida, se a teoria de justiça como eqüidade do filósofo norte-americano John Rawls fundamenta-se em uma violência originária. Para tanto, será feita a análise do texto Força de Lei com base em entrevistas, artigos e outros textos significativos de Derrida. Esta análise demonstrará a forma como o autor compreende a relação entre a justiça e o direito e indicará elementos mais gerais de seu projeto filosófico, que se denomina #desconstrução#. Logo após, será apresentada a teoria contratualista e o modo como esta se configura na teoria de Thomas Hobbes e, posteriormente, na filosofia de Immanuel Kant. Pretende-se, assim, demonstrar as bases contratualistas que Rawls assume (no caso de Kant) e rejeita (no caso de Hobbes) em sua teoria de justiça como eqüidade, tal como esta foi apresentada na obra Uma Teoria de Justiça de 1971. Ainda nesse tópico, serão demonstrados alguns elementos da transição entre a primeira e a segunda obra de Rawls. Por último, será feita uma análise das principais modificações que John Rawls efetuou em sua teoria até a sistematização destas em seu livro O Liberalismo Político, de 1993. Feito isso, será demonstrado como a concepção contratualista rawlsiana fundamenta-se em uma reivindicação da neutralidade e quais os principais obstáculos desta reivindicação. E, enfim, será realizada a análise da teoria de justiça de John Rawls à luz da idéia de violência presente no texto de Jacques Derrida
Jacques Derrida's philosophy of hospitality
No full textIn the latest of our occasional series on theorists of hospitality, Kevin O'Gorman explores how the controversial philosopher Jacques Derrida (1930-2004) contributes to our understanding of hospitality. Derrida's meditation on the contradictions within the language of hospitality are identified, along with his attempts to illuminate a variety of contemporary hospitality scenarios
Jacques Derrida: experiencia de la alteridad
No full textEl presente trabajo ofrece una introducción al pensamiento derridiano desde la experiencia de la lengua, hasta el por-venir de la deconstrucción, pasando por la crítica a la Metafísica de la presencia y su Mitología blanca. La primera parte expone la experiencia de la lengua vivida por Jacques Derrida a fin de utilizarla como esquema para explicar las críticas fundamentales al fonocentrismo y la estrategia de lectura-escritura deconstructiva. Se ponen en relación, por tanto, los conceptos de phoné, grammé, différance, doble gesto y testimonio. La segunda profundiza en la crítica a la ontología de la presencia articulando los conceptos de presencia-ausencia y alteridad. La tercera explicita la dimensión ética de la deconstrucción y aborda la hospitalidad y la necesidad de cuestionamiento constante de los efectos de sentido vigentes que justifican y perpetúan el estado de cosas en los ámbitos metafísico, epistemológico y antropológico
Il sogno dello scriba. Jacques Derrida e l’ospitalità della scrittura
No full textIl pensiero dell'ospitalità, prima di venir declinato lungo il versante "politico", ha interessato l'opera di Jacques Derrida sotto il profilo della "scrittura". La scrittura come traccia, infatti, è immediatamente offerta nel momento in cui si incide o innesta nell'insieme di scritture che la precedono e la sostengono. Si tratterà, allora, di verificare le aporie e i punti di rottura di un'idea di scrittura che non assuma dentro di sé l'istanza dell'altro che è, sempre e comunque, il destinario. Ospitalità della scrittura, in Jacques Derrida, equivale al riconoscersi come non padroni di quanto si produce, ma costituiti dall'atto stesso di scrivere e di indirizzarsi. La scrittura come opsitalità, dunque, è da subito "destinerrance", vale a dire indirizzo all'altro
Relationality, polemics, incommensurability: thinking the political at the intersections of the work of Jacques Derrida and Michel Foucault
No full textPhDThis thesis is focused on the intersections of ontology and politics in the work of Michel
Foucault and Jacques Derrida. In particular it concerns the ways in which these two thinkers
offer accounts of (ethical, social, political) relations which exceed a traditional dichotomy
between transcendentalism and empiricism. Both Derrida and Foucault show universal
foundations to originate in an anterior play of differences 'between' the transcendental and
empirical. However, as this thesis shows, each thinks this anterior 'medium' of relations in
radically incommensurable ways: as differance or aporia in Derrida and as power and
problematization in Foucault. As such, each necessarily views the other as failing to account
for the ‘true medium’ of relationality and so of its violent effacement and disavowal. This
incommensurability, it is argued, results in a polemic between them which is explicit in their
competing accounts of Descartes’ Meditations and implicit throughout all of their work. This
thesis traces the polemic between Derrida and Foucault across their accounts of subjectivity,
ethics and politics. It is argued that in their engagements with each of these fields they
employ parallel politicizing strategies which are nevertheless wholly exclusive of one another.
The incommensurability between Derrida and Foucault reflects a broader problematic
which any political thought affirming its own finitude cannot explicitly recognize. Postfoundational
accounts of relationality, it is claimed, violently exclude competing
philosophical strategies without the capacity of accounting for this exclusion
Derrida and a Theory of Irony: Parabasis and Parataxis
Full text linkThis thesis presents a theory of structural irony gleaned from the irony theorised and performed in the texts of thinkers whose works operate on the border of the (non)propositional: Plato, Friedrich Schlegel, Maurice Blanchot, Paul de Man, Emmanuel Levinas and Jacques Derrida. While focusing on the irony performed in the texts of Jacques Derrida, and using his engagements with these thinkers as a frame, this is not a theory of “Derridean” irony, but an irony (primarily) elaborated through a deconstructive approach and vocabulary. Structural irony is seen to take the form of the transgressive step/counter-step of parabasis and the non-hierarchical disorder of parataxis. It is an anacoluthic force/weakness, and exhibits the conjunctive/disjunctive trait of hyphenation. It is neither of cynical, aesthetic distance nor humorous, parodic engagement, but is a productive movement of (impossible) negotiation between terms. Irony is an expression of the beyond, within, and this reworking of borders and limits is performed in the fragment/aphorism. The (ir)responsible step taken in Derrida’s texts is understood as a mode of structural irony, and it is proposed that the stylistic changes that occurred in Derrida’s “later” texts were in part due to the autoimmunity caused by an overexposure to the “laws of the interview”. Throughout the thesis styles that manipulate the unmasterable excesses of irony are investigated, and each chapter ends with a reading of one of Derrida’s more “literary” or “performative” texts, while recognising and playing with the falsity of such generic makers or divisions. Inscribing Derrida within a tradition of thinkers of the non-thetic both extends readings of that tradition and of irony itself, while affording a valuable way of approaching the “structures” within Derrida’s texts. Irony is not presented as the transcendental signifier of deconstruction, but as a profitable way of understanding deconstruction and its relation to other writers
La literatura y sus dimensiones políticas en Jacques Derrida y Jean-Paul Sartre
Full text linkThis paper aims to answer the question: How is the relationship between literature and politics built within the philosophical proposals of Jacques Derrida and Jean Paul Sartre on the literary object? The main objective of this research is to approach the way in which both authors work on the Literature/Politics link throughout a selection of their works, based on their own conceptions and philosophical projects on the literary object; Likewise, it seeks to establish relationships between both proposals and clarify some of their theoretical bases. Said study is based on De la Gramatología (1971), Limited Inc. (2018), and other texts by Jacques Derrida (and his commentators); And what is literature? (1991), Sartre by himself (1955), Existentialism is a humanism (1997), among other works, by Jean Paul Sartre (and his commentators)
