    Negative: On the Translation of Jacques Derrida, Mal d’Archive Daniel James Barker Actually it has been written twice... I determined to give it up; but it tormented me like an unlaid ghost.1 Yes, I am teaching something positive here. Ex- cept that it is expressed by a negation. But why shouldn’t it be as positive as anything else?2 There is no meta-archive.3 COLLOQUY text theory critique 19 (2010). © Monash University. www.colloquy.monash.edu.au/issue19/barker.pdf 6 Daniel James Barker ░ Argument This paper will follow the thread that may be traced in Derrida’s Mal d’Archive4 when the title is translated as “The Archive Bug.” In so doing, it will attempt to describe the ways in which the death drive as it appears in Mal d’Archive may be related to the (non-)concept of différance as it has emerged in Derrida’s theoretical writings under various names. The argument will hinge on the thinking of différance as a virus, in the sense of an (anti-)information (non-)entity which propagates by entering a genetic structure and substituting elements of its code. Entstellung [Re-Framing] ... and I always dream of a pen that would be a syringe, a suction point rather than that very hard weapon with which one must in- scribe, incise, choose, calculate, take ink before filtering the inscrib- able, playing the keyboard on the screen, whereas here, once the right vein has been found, no more toil, no responsibility, no risk of bad taste nor of violence, the blood delivers itself alone, the inside gives itself up and you can do as you like with it ...5 Nevertheless, the needle must puncture the skin: a small violence.

  • The Unlimited Responsibility of Spilling Ink Marko Zlomislic
    ISSN 1393-614X Minerva - An Internet Journal of Philosophy 11 (2007): 128-152 ____________________________________________________ The Unlimited Responsibility of Spilling Ink Marko Zlomislic Abstract In order to show that both Derrida’s epistemology and his ethics can be understood in terms of his logic of writing and giving, I consider his conversation with Searle in Limited Inc. I bring out how a deconstruction that is implied by the dissemination of writing and giving makes a difference that accounts for the creative and responsible decisions that undecidability makes possible. Limited Inc has four parts and I will interpret it in terms of the four main concepts of Derrida. I will relate signature, event, context to Derrida’s notion of dissemination and show how he differs from Austin and Searle concerning the notion of the signature of the one who writes and gives. Next, I will show how in his reply to Derrida, entitled, “Reiterating the Differences”, Searle overlooks Derrida’s thought about the communication of intended meaning that has to do with Derrida’s distinction between force and meaning and his notion of differance. Here I will show that Searle cannot even follow his own criteria for doing philosophy. Then by looking at Limited Inc, I show how Derrida differs from Searle because repeatability is alterability. Derrida has an ethical intent all along to show that it is the ethos of alterity that is called forth by responsibility and accounted for by dissemination and difference. Of course, comments on comments, criticisms of criticisms, are subject to the law of diminishing fleas, but I think there are here some misconceptions still to be cleared up, some of which seem to still be prevalent in generally sensible quarters.

  • 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).

  • Kant As an Unfamiliar Source of Racism
    Philosophers on Race: Critical Essays Edited by Julie K. Ward, Tommy L. Lott Copyright © 2002 by Blackwell Publishers Ltd CHAPTER 8 Kant as an Unfamiliar Source of Racism ROBERT BERNASCONI 1 In 1972 Isaiah Berlin gave a lecture on “Kant as an Unfamiliar Source of National- ism”, which has recently been published in The Sense of Reality.1 The lecture began: At first sight nothing would seem more disparate than the idea of nationality and the sane, rational, liberal internationalism of the great Königsberg philosopher. Of all the influential thinkers of his day, Kant seems the most remote from the rise of nationalism. (SR, p. 232) Just as Berlin shows a connection between Kant and nationalism, I propose to do the same for Kant and racism. However, the form of Berlin’s argument is somewhat dif- ferent from mine. Berlin does not question the legitimacy of the image of Kant’s phi- losophy as “deeply rational and cosmopolitan” (SR, p. 244). Berlin’s interest is, rather, to show how “ideas turn into their opposites” (SR, p. 248). He has in mind what became of Kant’s ideas in Herder and Fichte. My thesis, by contrast, is that, in spite of Kant’s avowed cosmopolitanism that is evident in such essays as his “Idea for a Universal History with a Cosmopolitan Purpose,” one also finds within his philosophy expres- sions of a virulent and theoretically based racism, at a time when scientific racism was still in its infancy. Although the blatant and unremitting racist declarations of Europeans at this time, like Edward Long’s History of Jamaica of 1776, are shocking and deplorable and call for further intellectual inquiry, some authors present a further puzzle that has a particular interest for philosophers and historians of ideas.

  • RE-ANIMATING GHOSTS MATERIALITY and MEMORY in HAUNTOLOGICAL APPROPRIATION Abstract
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF FILM AND MEDIA ARTS (2019) Vol. 4, Nº. 2 pp. 24-37 © 2019 BY-NC-ND ijfma.ulusofona.pt DOI: 10.24140/ijfma.v4.n2.02 RE-ANIMATING GHOSTS MATERIALITY AND MEMORY IN HAUNTOLOGICAL APPROPRIATION Abstract This research examines the spectrality of an- MICHAEL PETER SCHOFIELD imation and other media based on the photo- graphic trace. Using diverse examples from pop- ular culture and the author’s own investigative practice in media art, this paper looks at how ar- chival media is re-used and can be brought back to life in new moving image works, in a gesture we might call hauntological appropriation. While sampling and re-using old materials is nothing new, over the last 15 years we have seen an ongoing tendency to foreground the ghostly qualities of vintage recordings and found foot- age, and a recurrent fetishisation and simula- tion of obsolete technologies. Here we examine the philosophies and productions behind this hauntological turn and why the materiality of still and moving image media has become such a focus. We ask how that materiality effects the machines that remember for us, and how we re- use these analogue memories in digital cultures. Due to the multimodal nature of the author’s creative practice, photography, video art, doc- umentary film and animation, are interrogated here theoretically. Re-animating the ghosts of old media can reveal ontological differences between these forms, and a ghostly synergy be- tween the animated and the photographic.

  • Saint Jacques: Derrida and the Ghost of Marxism
    Saint Jacques: Derrida and the Ghost of Marxism David Bedggood Introduction For the bourgeoisie, the collapse of "communism" made the world-historic victory of capitalism seem certain. Yet the contradictions of capitalism immediately called the new world order into question as globalisation brought with it what Jacques Derrida calls the "10 plagues". Apologists for capitalism are now fearful of the return of Marx's ghost. George Soros sees the ghost in the form of the anarchy of finance capital. Anthony Giddens sees the ghost in the rise of left or right fundamentalist ideology. Without realising it, they pose the problem in terms familiar to Marxists: the contradiction between dead and living labour and the rise of the dead reclaimed by the living. But is there a way out for capitalism? Jacques Derrida enters the fray with his book Specters of Marx. He returns to Marx, or at least, "one spirit" of Marx in the German Ideology. This is the "spirit" of Marx which became lost to totalitarian Marxism -- the "spirit" rediscovered in the extreme individualism of Max Stirner, who deluded himself that he was a free floating "unique" ego not subject to any social laws. By reclaiming the powers of alienated social being from the Hegelian god, Stirner worshipped his self as his personal god. By rediscovering this formerly unnoticed "spirit" of Marx, Derrida claims to find a way out of capitalism's plagues with the call for a "new International". Not a Marxist International on the side of living labour, but rather a reworked messianism of the religion of the abstract ego.

  • 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.

Although I was studying sport and play in a different department, I was intrigued by the title – art seemed closely related to play and sport in the landscape of human experiences. Further, the course was offered at a convenient time and it fulfilled a deficiency I had toward graduation. Unfortunately, I had no idea what I was getting into. The course readings, which included Martin Heidegger, Friedrich Nietzsche, Maurice Merleau- Ponty, Jacques Derrida, Jurgen Habermas, and, most prominently, Hans-Georg Gadamer, seemed so dense that they necessitated long hours of introduction and prior training that I did not have.

  • The Supplement
    3 Supplement Robert Bernasconi In Of Grammatology Derrida took up the term supplément from his reading of both Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Claude Lévi-Strauss and used it to formulate what he called “the logic of supplementarity” (G: 144–45). Derrida returned to Lévi-Strauss’s use of the word “supplement” in “Structure, Sign and Play” (WD: 289) and in Given Time (GT: 66–77), but I will focus here on Derrida’s reading of this word in Rousseau’s Confessions, Discourse on the Origin and Foundation of Inequality among Men,andEssay on the Origin of Languages because his reading of Rousseau has proved so powerful and because the logic of supple- mentarity is better illustrated than generalised. As Derrida observed, Rousseau in these works employed binary oppositions: nature versus society, passion versus need, south versus north, and, most significantly for Derrida in the late 1960s, speech versus writing. In the course of declaring these oppositions Rousseau can be found writing the ambiguous term supplément and its cognates into his narratives. The supplement is an addition from the outside, but it can also be understood as supplying what is missing and in this way is already inscribed within that to which it is added. In this way the word, “supplement” seems to account for “the strange unity” of two gestures: “on the side of experience, a recourse to literature as appropriation of presence, that is to say, … of Nature; on the side of theory, an indict- ment against the negativity of the letter, in which must be read the degeneracy of culture and the disruption of the community” (G: 144).
