Frasi di Jacques Derrida

Jacques Derrida, nato Jackie Élie Derrida , è stato un filosofo, saggista, accademico ed epistemologo francese.

Professore prima all'École Normale Supérieure, co-fondatore del Collège International de Philosophie e poi, fino alla morte, directeur d'études presso l'École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales di Parigi, il suo nome è legato al concetto di decostruzione, che ebbe una forte influenza sul pensiero della seconda metà del Novecento, in ambiti disciplinari molto diversi dalla filosofia, come la linguistica, la critica letteraria, la teoria politica, la giurisprudenza, gli studi religiosi, la teoria dei media, l'antropologia, gli studi culturali, l'architettura , gli studi postcoloniali, gli studi di genere e la psicoanalisi. La sua opera, che ebbe una diffusione globale, in particolare negli Stati Uniti e in Sud America, è solitamente associata al cosiddetto post-strutturalismo francese o al postmodernismo, benché Derrida non si sia mai riconosciuto in queste denominazioni.

Influenzato dalla fenomenologia di Edmund Husserl e dall'ontologia fondamentale di Martin Heidegger, il suo pensiero si concentrò inizialmente sui problemi epistemologici della filosofia francese degli anni sessanta, riguardanti lo statuto delle scienze umane, il contributo della psicoanalisi e della linguistica e il superamento dell'umanesimo. In seguito, a partire dagli anni ottanta e novanta, l'interrogazione di Derrida si rivolse a temi di carattere etico e politico, fra cui il cosmopolitismo, la natura della democrazia, i diritti umani e animali, l'idea di Europa e la crisi della sovranità. I suoi interventi lo resero una delle voci pubbliche più note nel panorama intellettuale europeo, al punto da essere più volte indicato come possibile vincitore del Premio Nobel per la Letteratura.

Il suo pensiero, esposto in uno stile difficile per via di un complesso lavoro sul linguaggio filosofico, è stato spesso oggetto di controversie, forti polemiche e talvolta netti rifiuti, soprattutto nel mondo della filosofia analitica anglosassone. Wikipedia

Jacques Derrida: Frasi in inglese

“The age is off its hinges. Everything, beginning with time, seems out of kilter, unjust, dis-adjusted. The world is going very badly, it wears as it grows”

Jacques Derrida libro Specters of Marx

Wear and Tears (tableu of a ageless world)
Specters of Marx (1993)
Contesto: The time is out of joint. The world is going badly. It is worn but its wear no longer counts. Old age or youth-one no longer counts in that way. The world has more than one age. We lack the measure of the measure. We no longer realize the wear, we no longer take account of it as of a single age in the progress of history. Neither maturation, nor crisis, nor even agony. Something else. What is happening is happening to age itself, it strikes a blow at the teleological order of history. What is coming, in which the untimely appears, is happening to time but it does not happen in time. Contretemps. The time is out of joint. Theatrical speech, Hamlet's speech before the theater of the world, of history, and of politics. The age is off its hinges. Everything, beginning with time, seems out of kilter, unjust, dis-adjusted. The world is going very badly, it wears as it grows, as the Painter also says at the beginning of Timon of Athens (which is Marx's play, is it not). For, this time, it is a painter's speech, as if he were speaking of a spectacle or before a tableau: "How goes the world?-It wears, sir, as it grows.

“I speak only one language, and it is not my own.”

Origine: Monolingualism of the Other: or, The Prosthesis of Origin

“If,­ there is a tendency in all Western democracies no longer to respect the professional politician or even the party member as such, it is no longer only because of some personal insufficiency, some fault, or some incompetence, or because of some scandal that can now be more widely known, amplified, and in fact often produced, if not premeditated by the power of the media. Rather, it is because politicians become more and more, or even solely characters in the media's representation at the very moment when the transformation of the public space, precisely by the media, causes them to lose the essential part of the power and even of the competence they were granted before by the structures of parliamentary representation, by the party apparatuses that were linked to it, and so forth. However competent they may personally be, professional politicians who conform to the old model tend today to become structurally incompetent. The same media power accuses, produces, and amplifies at the same time this incompetence of traditional politicians: on the one hand, it takes aways from them the legitimate power they held in the former political space (party, parliament, and so forth), but, on the other hand, it obliges them to become mere silhouettes, if not marionettes, on the stage of televisual rhetoric. They were thought to be actors of politics, they now often risk, as everyone knows, being no more than TV actors.”

“Monsters cannot be announced. One cannot say: 'here are our monsters', without immediately turning the monsters into pets.”

“"There is no outside-text." It is usually mistranslated as "There is nothing outside the text" by his opponents to make it appear that Derrida is claiming nothing exists beyond language (see Searle–Derrida debate). In French, that mistranslated phrase would actually read "Il n'y a rien en dehors du texte."”

Jacques Derrida libro Specters of Marx

il n'y a pas de hors-texte
"This question is therefore not only of Rousseau's writing but also of our reading. ...the writer writes <i>in</i> a language and <i>in</i> a logic whose proper system, laws, and life his discourse by definition cannot dominate absolutely. ...reading... cannot legitimately transgress the text toward something other than it... . <i>There is nothing outside of the text </i>[there is no outside-text; <i>il n'y a pas de hors-texte</i>]."
Specters of Marx (1993), 1960s
