  • Ontology: Early Derrida Reading Early Heidegger
    Jake Nabasny ‘Beyond or Within’ Ontology: Early Derrida Reading Early Heidegger 0. Abstract The publication of Jacques Derrida’s 1964–5 seminar on Martin Heidegger marks a significant event. In these lectures, Derrida puts forth a heterodox reading of the project of fundamental ontology, claiming it is not and never was an ontological or metaphysical enterprise. This reading was intended to rescue Heideggerian Destruktion from the metaphysical lens contemporary scholars had placed it under. While this seminar reveals important insights into the origins of Derridian deconstruction, this paper argues that it ultimately gets Heidegger wrong. From a close reading of the Introduction of Being and Time and proximate lecture courses, I argue that Heidegger’s fundamental ontology is indebted to a phenomenological method that is thoroughly and explicitly ontological. Apart from setting the record straight about Heidegger, I show that this interpretation of Destruktion is inconsistent with Derrida’s reading of Heidegger before and after these lectures were presented. I conclude by tracing this inconsistency throughout Derrida’s later work and considering why the 1964–5 interpretation stands out. Ultimately, this seminar should be read as a stage in the development of Derrida’s mature thought, specifically in regard to the notion of différance. ‘This is a retroactive justification because these themes are only implicit in Sein und Zeit.’ (Derrida 2016, 73) 1. Introduction As Jacques Derrida’s seminars continue to be edited, translated, and published, interest in his oeuvre is constantly renewed. The latest addition to this collection is the 1964–5 seminar Heidegger: The Question of Being and History.

  • Jean-Luc Nancy and the Deconstruction of Christianity By
    Jean-Luc Nancy and the Deconstruction of Christianity by Tenzan Eaghll A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department for the Study of Religion University of Toronto ©Copyright by Tenzan Eaghll 2016 Jean-Luc Nancy and the Deconstruction of Christianity Tenzan Eaghll Doctor of Philosophy Department for the Study of Religion University of Toronto 2016 Abstract This dissertation is a study of the origins and development of the French philosopher Jean- Luc Nancy’s work on the “deconstruction of Christianity.” By situating Nancy's work in light of the broader Continental philosophical analysis of religion in the 20th Century, it argues that what Nancy calls the "deconstruction of Christianity" and the "exit from religion" is his unique intervention into the problem of metaphysical nihilism in Western thought. The author explains that Nancy’s work on religion does not provide a new “theory” for the study of religion or Christianity, but shows how Western metaphysical foundations are caught up in a process of decomposition that has been brought about by Christianity. For Nancy, the only way out of nihilism is to think of the world as an infinite opening unto itself, for this dis- encloses any transcendent principle of value or immanent notion of meaninglessness in the finite spacing of sense, and he finds the resources to think this opening within Christianity. By reading Christian notions like "God" and "creation ex nihilo" along deconstructive lines and connecting them with the rise and fall of this civilization that once called itself "Christendom," he attempts to expose "the sense of an absenting" that is both the condition of possibility for the West and what precedes, succeeds, and exceeds it.

  • Introduction
    © Copyrighted Material Introduction Amanda Boetzkes and Aron Vinegar Why Heidegger? Why Now? Any art historian, philosopher of art, or theorist of the visual who is concerned with issues of historiography and interpretation above and beyond a particular chronological specialization, will undoubtedly be familiar with Martin Heidegger’s writings. Heidegger’s best-known contribution to the history of art, his 1935–36 essay ‘Origin of the Work of Art’, calls into question the essence of the artwork, the status of the artist as originary creator, and thus, the stability of the artwork’s meaning. It is here that Heidegger challenges the notion of intentionality as a meaning bestowed by the artist to the work of art and in so doing repositions the notion of intentionality altogether, from the work of art’s inherent content to the path of questioning that the work elicits. Further, Heidegger refutes the method of comparison, already an established approach to situating works of art in a particular place in history. Instead, he posits hermeneutic movement as an access into the fundamental terms that constitute the work of art in a time and place: its origin, materiality (or thingliness), its status as a ‘work’, and its operation of setting up a world. In short, the essay stands as an imperative to both ask the essential questions of artworks and scrutinize our ways of interpreting them for our own time. As art history opens its areas of specialization in particular historical times and geographic locations to different fields of inquiry that have

  • Jacques Derrida Law As Absolute Hospitality
    JACQUES DERRIDA LAW AS ABSOLUTE HOSPITALITY JACQUES DE VILLE NOMIKOI CRITICAL LEGAL THINKERS Jacques Derrida Jacques Derrida: Law as Absolute Hospitality presents a comprehensive account and understanding of Derrida’s approach to law and justice. Through a detailed reading of Derrida’s texts, Jacques de Ville contends that it is only by way of Derrida’s deconstruction of the metaphysics of presence, and specifi cally in relation to the texts of Husserl, Levinas, Freud and Heidegger, that the reasoning behind his elusive works on law and justice can be grasped. Through detailed readings of texts such as ‘To Speculate – on Freud’, Adieu, ‘Declarations of Independence’, ‘Before the Law’, ‘Cogito and the History of Madness’, Given Time, ‘Force of Law’ and Specters of Marx, de Ville contends that there is a continuity in Derrida’s thinking, and rejects the idea of an ‘ethical turn’. Derrida is shown to be neither a postmodernist nor a political liberal, but a radical revolutionary. De Ville also controversially contends that justice in Derrida’s thinking must be radically distinguished from Levinas’s refl ections on ‘the Other’. It is the notion of absolute hospitality – which Derrida derives from Levinas, but radically transforms – that provides the basis of this argument. Justice must, on de Ville’s reading, be understood in terms of a demand of absolute hospitality which is imposed on both the individual and the collective subject. A much needed account of Derrida’s infl uential approach to law, Jacques Derrida: Law as Absolute Hospitality will be an invaluable resource for those with an interest in legal theory, and for those with an interest in the ethics and politics of deconstruction.

  • Karen Barad When Two Hands Touch, There Is a Sensuality of the Flesh
    On Touching – The Inhuman That Therefore I Am (v1.1) Preliminary Note: This paper is Karen Barad a slightly revised version of the original paper “On Touching – The Inhuman that Therefore I Am,” which was published in differences 23:3 (2012, p. 206-223). That paper unfortunately included errors result- ing from a misreading my proof cor- rections. I am thankful that Susanne Witzgall and Kerstin Stakemeier has provided an opportunity for this arti- cle to be printed in its correct form. It also includes minor revisions to reset the introduction of the paper since it is now being published in a different forum and no longer intro- duces a journal special issue, which was the original context. 1 The title of my essay here expresses my virtual engagements and entanglements with Jacques Derrida. I am indebted to Astrid Schrader and Vicki Kirby for putting me in touch with Derrida through their marvellous materialist readings of his work. 2 Touch has been an object of study for centuries, going back at least to Aristotle’s momentous work on this topic. Part of what is at stake in this essay, is joining with other feminist and postcolonial theorists in troubling the notion of touch as an innocent form of engagement and also, by implication, troubling its positioning in the history of philosophy as a mutually consent- ing act between individuals, free When two hands touch, there is a sensuality of the flesh, an exchange of culture, history, and politics. of warmth, a feeling of pressure, of presence, a proximity of other- The literature on this is extensive.
