Call for Papers
Jacques Derrida: Democracy to Come
This special issue of Symposium will honor the life and work of Jacques Derrida by focusing on the concept of "democracy to come," elaborated in recent texts as an (a)temporal coming of an unforeseeable other or event beyond calculation. With this com pelling formulation Derrida invites us to rethink democracy in light of current global politics. How can we speak about democracy? He asks in Rogues. Is it possible to speak against democracy? What happens to democracy when freedom is no longer determined as power or the ability to do as one pleases? How do we negotiate the two incompatible desires of democracy: to welcome only the "citizens, brothers and compeers," excluding the "bad citizens, rogues, and noncitizens," yet to offer hospitality to all those ex cluded?
We invite submissions in English or French devoted to any of these or other questions relating to the theme of democracy to come. The issue will be published as Volume 10, No. 1, Spring 2007. Please submit two hard copies or an electronic copy of your paper along with a disk by August 15, 2006 to the following address (notifications of acceptance will be sent after the dead line):

Appel d'articles
Jacques Derrida : la democratie avenir
Ce numero special de Symposium rendra hommage a la vie et a I'ceuvre de Jacques Derrida en s'interessant a la notion de «democratie a venir» elaboree dans les textes plus tardifs en etant pensee comme une venue imprevisible et intemporelle de I'autre ou de I'evenement par dela toute entreprise de calcul. Par cette remarquable formulation, Derrida nous invite a repenser la demo cratie a la lumiere de la politique globale qui prevaut aujourd'hui. Comment peut-on parler de democratie? Est-ce encore possible de parler contre la democratie? Qu'advient-il de la democratie lorsque la liberte n'est plus determinee comme une capacite de simple ment faire ce que I'on veut? Comment negocier avec la double tentation qui consiste, d'une part, a accueillir seulement les «bons citoyens, les freres et les comperes» en excluant les «mauvais citoyens, les delinquants et les non citoyens», et d'autre part, a offrir I'hospitalite inconditionnee a tous ces exclus?
Nous vous invitons a soumettre des textes en anglais ouen fran~ais consacres a I'une ou I'autre de ces questions, ou encore qui ouvrent sur d'autres questions relatives au theme de la «democratie a venir». Les textes acceptes paraitront dans le vol. 10, no. 1, printemps 2007, de Symposium. Veuillez svp sou mettre deux copies papier avec une version sur disquette, ou une version electronique de votre texte avant le 15 aout 2006 a I'adresse suivante (des accuses de reception seront envoyes avant la date limite de reception des textes):
