  • Derrida's Open and Its Closure: the Aporia of Différance and the Only
    Language, Literature, and Interdisciplinary Studies (LLIDS) ISSN: 2547-0044 http://ellids.com/archives/2018/09/2.1-Wu.pdf CC Attribution-No Derivatives 4.0 International License www.ellids.com Derrida’s Open and Its Closure: The Aporia of Différance and the Only Logic of Thinking Mengxue Wu “…for an opening is relative to a ‘surrounding plenitude.’”1 “The gallery is the labyrinth which includes in itself its own exits: we have never come upon it as upon a particular case of experience—that which Husserl believes he is describing.”2 Metaphysics—the entire history of metaphysics has been considered as the metaphysics of presence—is closed; it is closed like a dead end. In its “surrounding plenitude” no exit can be found and it is meeting its own death. Though a system of philosophy with incompleteness is not a perfect theory, but the rebuke of how comprehensive and close a philosophy is and the demand of that philosophy to open its house to the alien and the ungraspable would be a preposterous importunity. However, upon the stage where the entire history of Western philosophy has been played, “…nothing is staged or displayed theatrically. Rather, the battle of the new gods against the old is being fought” (Heidegger 22). This battle, between the new gods and the old, between the new thoughts and the old, is a battle of breaking into new ruptures and finding new openings in the old thoughts. At the moment when traditional philosophy has become a closure of the metaphysics of presence, even those streams of thought that already broke new phenomenological grounds in the beginning of twentieth century and Levinas’s ethical breaking are closed “as the self-presence in absolute knowledge” (Derrida 102, SP).

  • LEVINAS on LAW a Derridean Reading of Manderson's Proximity, Levinas, and the Soul of Law
    LEVINAS ON LAW A Derridean Reading of Manderson's Proximity, Levinas, and the Soul of Law Jacques de Ville* In this article, Desmond Manderson's book, Proximity, Levinas, and the Soul of Law (2006), is analysed specifically with reference to the accuracy with which it translates Derrida's thinking into law. Manderson, in a number of instances, invokes Derrida's thinking as a 'corrective' to that of Levinas. The author shows that this invocation by Manderson of Derrida's texts is selective and does not take account of Derrida's broader 'philosophical' approach. The author points to the differences between, but also the correspondence in the thinking of, Levinas and Derrida. He contends that being true to Derrida's thinking requires that proximity be viewed not as simply making law responsive as proposed by Manderson, but as having a paradoxical structure. The latter would give expression to the distinction that Derrida draws between the conditional and the unconditional. Only if proximity is viewed in this manner will judges be faced with a true responsibility in deciding negligence cases; only then will justice stand a chance. Introduction Translating Levinas into law is not a task that many legal scholars undertake. There are, however, a number of scholars who in recent years have made admirable attempts to do so.1 In this article, I reflect on some of the difficulties involved in translating Levinas into law through a 'Derridean' reading of the recently published book of Desmond Manderson, Proximity, Levinas, and the Soul of Law. This book makes a valuable attempt at translating a number of Professor of Law, University of the Western Cape.

  • The Science of Writing
    The Science of Writing Introduction In 1967 the French philosopher, Jacques Derrida, published in book form a collection of texts he had been composing, under the title De la Grammatologie, Of Grammatology.1 The book was translated into English in 1974 by Gayatri Spivak and, with its one-hundred-page translator’s introduction, constituted the first major introduction to Derrida for English-speaking audiences. In 1985 an American professor of English Literature, Gregory Ulmer, published his engagement with Derrida under the title, Applied Grammatology: Post(e) Pedagogy from Jacques Derrida to Joseph Beuys.2 Ulmer’s investigation is one of the very few instances where Derrida’s mention of ‘grammatology’ is taken up at length. In July 2008, at the Derrida Today conference held at the University of Sydney, in Australia, the French Derrida scholar, Catherine Malabou, presented a key note address that probed the fate of Derrida’s notion of ‘grammatology’ and how its question might be re-engaged or re-invented today.3 By ‘grammatology,’ Derrida inferred a ‘science of writing,’ though an approach to the question of writing that radically engages with the question of science, of truth and of knowing. And if Ulmer activates the question posed by grammatology, it is in order to question a scene of teaching the radically questions writing as such. This paper aims at asking if the work of Derrida and Ulmer has continued relevance for a radicalising of the scene of teaching precisely by a critical engagement with what we commonly name as writing and what we commonly understand as its agency.

  • Education As the Possibility of Justice: Jacques Derrida

PUB DATE 1997-03-00 NOTE 35p.; Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Educational Research Association (Chicago, IL, March 24-28, 1997). PUB TYPE Reports - Descriptive (141) Speeches/Meeting Papers (150) EDRS PRICE MF01/PCO2 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Educational Philosophy; *Educational Theories; Epistemology; Hermeneutics; Higher Education; *Justice; *Philosophy IDENTIFIERS *Derrida (Jacques); Poststructuralism ABSTRACT This paper is an analysis of the ongoing work of philosopher Jacques Derrida and the immense body of work associated with him. Derrida's copious work is difficult to categorize since Derrida challenges the very concept that meaning can be grasped in its original moment or that meaning can be represented in the form of some proper, self-identical concept. Derrida's "deconstruction" requires reading, writing, and translating Derrida, an impossibility the author maintains cannot be done because translation involves transformation and the originality of the original only comes into view after it has been translated. The sections of the paper include: (1) "Preface: Reading Derrida, Writing after Derrida"; (2) "Curriculum Vitae"; (3) "(No) Philosophy"; (4) "The Myth of the Origin"; (5) "The Presence of the Voice"; (6) "The Ubiquity of Writing"; (7) "Difference and 'Differance'"; (8) "Deconstruction and the Other"; (9) "Education"; (10) "Education beyond Representation: Gregory Ulmer's 'Post(e)-pedagogy"; and (11) "Afterword: Education as the Possibility of Justice."

  • Derrida and the Singularity of Literature
    DERRIDA AND THE SINGULARITY OF LITERATURE Jonathan Culler* In This Strange Institution Called Literature, an interview with Derek Attridge, Jacques Derrida offers an eloquent homage to literature: Experience of Being, nothing less, nothing more, on the edge of metaphysics, literature perhaps stands on the edge of everything, almost beyond everything, including itself. It’s the most interesting thing in the world, maybe more interesting than the world, and this is why, if it has no definition, what is heralded and refused under the name of literature cannot be identified with any other discourse. It will never be scientific, philosophical, conversational.1 This is a celebration of literature of a sort not much heard these days, when advanced critical approaches treat literature as one discourse among others, to privilege which would be an elitist mistake. In fact, this celebration of literature is not a privileging of some distinctiveness of literary language or of aesthetic achievement—literature, Derrida stresses, has no definition—but it nevertheless gives an importance to literary discourse, its engagement with the world, on the edge of the world, and the engagement that it calls forth in readers, which has the possibility to transform our literary culture. In a new book The Singularity of Literature, which is largely inspired by Derrida, Derek Attridge writes, “Derrida’s work over the past thirty-five years constitutes the most significant, far-reaching, and inventive exploration of literature for our time.”2 This is unmistakably true, though it is not widely recognized. One of the more grotesque aspects of the mediatic reception of Derrida in the United States is the idea that somehow Derrida’s work and deconstruction generally have constituted an attack on literature.

  • Tracing Noise: Writing In-Between Sound by Mitch Renaud Bachelor
    Tracing Noise: Writing In-Between Sound by Mitch Renaud Bachelor of Music, University of Toronto, 2012 A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies in the Department of French, the School of Music, and Cultural, Social, and Political Thought Mitch Renaud, 2015 University of Victoria All rights reserved. This thesis may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopy or other means, without the permission of the author. ii Supervisory Committee Tracing Noise: Writing In-Between Sound by Mitch Renaud Bachelor of Music, University of Toronto, 2012 Supervisory Committee Emile Fromet de Rosnay, Department of French and CSPT Supervisor Christopher Butterfield, School of Music Co-Supervisor Stephen Ross, Department of English and CSPT Outside Member iii Abstract Supervisory Committee Emile Fromet de Rosnay (Department of French and CSPT) Supervisor Christopher Butterfield (School of Music) Co-Supervisor Stephen Ross (Department of English and CSPT) Outside Member Noise is noisy. Its multiple definitions cover one another in such a way as to generate what they seek to describe. My thesis tracks the ways in which noise can be understood historically and theoretically. I begin with the Skandalkonzert that took place in Vienna in 1913. I then extend this historical example into a theoretical reading of the noise of Derrida’s Of Grammatology, arguing that sound and noise are the unheard of his text, and that Derrida’s thought allows us to hear sound studies differently. Writing on sound must listen to the noise of the motion of différance, acknowledge the failings, fading, and flailings of sonic discourse, and so keep in play the aporias that constitute the field of sound itself.

  • Derrida and Phenomenology Defin.Vers
    1 JACQUES DERRIDA AND PHENOMENOLOGY Denis Seron, Daniel Giovannangeli Born in 1930 in El-Biar (Algeria), Jacques Derrida studied philosophy at the Ecole normale supérieure in Paris between 1952 and 1957. Admitted to the agrégation in 1957, he began teaching at the Sorbonne in 1960, and from 1964 to 1984 taught at the Ecole normale supérieure. He defended his doctoral thesis in 1980. In 1983, he became research director at the Ecole des hautes études en Sciences sociales in Paris. He is also counted among the founders of the Collège international de Philosophie, which he directed from 1983 to 1986. Derrida has taught in several American universities, including John Hopkins, Yale and the University of California at Los Angeles. Phenomenology has deeply marked the philosophy of Jacques Derrida, and this from the start (see Bennington and Derrida 1991, 299-308). He read Sartre when he was 17 and Heidegger shortly after his admission in “hypokhâgne” in Algiers. In 1953-1954, while studying at the Ecole normale supérieure, thanks to Maurice de Gandillac and Father Van Breda, he went to the Husserl-Archiv in Louvain to consult unpublished manuscripts. The same year, he wrote his master's paper on Husserl, The Problem of Genesis in the Philosophy of Husserl, which would be published in 1990. In 1957 he began the translation and introduction of Husserl's The Origin of Geometry, published in 1962. Two years later, he presented the lecture “‘Genesis and Structure’ and Phenomenology” in Cerisy-la-Salle. In the text “Violence et Metaphysics” (1964) Derrida reconsiders the objections raised by Emmanuel Levinas against Husserl’s conception of intersubjectivity.
