A review essay on Jacques Derrida's Specters of Marx (Kamuf, P. [Tr], New York City: Routledge, 1994). Derrida argues that Karl Marx's discussion of the commodity & his attempt to delimit the real for the apparent leaves a residual "specter" -- a figure of deconstruction -- that haunts the concept. Derrida desires to avoid residual specters with Francis Fukuyama & other liberal democratic capitalists who wish to banish the ghosts of Marx. It is argued here that Derrida shares both Marx's & Fukuyama's use of the concept of capital in a unitary form. The multiple spirits that haunt the concept of capital, which include economic difference, incomplete penetration of the market, & the persistence of noncapitalist & noncommodified production, are described. 26 References.

Reflections on the Marxist legacy which poses challenges in terms of the state, democracy and citizenship to confound the Western triumphalism which greeted the collapse of historical Marxism. It remains necessary to construct a 'New International' capable of addressing times, and worlds, that are so profoundly out of joint.

Habermas und Derrida gelten als Antipoden der Gegenwartsphilosophie. Sie teilen jedoch zentrale Grundüberzeugungen. Beiden gilt es für unser Handeln und Denken als konstitutiv, daß wir ebenso sprechende wie soziale Wesen sind. Sprachlichkeit und Sozialität stellen für Habermas wie für Derrida irreduzible Dimensionen unseres Weltverhältnisses dar. Die Studie erläutert klar und verständlich, wie die beiden Denker diesen Ausgangspunkt im Rückgriff auf das Konzept der Normativität entfalten. Die Unterschiedlichkeit der von Habermas und Derrida entwickelten Modelle elementarer Vergesellschaftung ist mit der Differenz zwischen "Verständigung" und "Versprechen" genau bezeichnet.

Straipsnyje analizuojama J. Derrida veikale "Apie gramatologiją" atlikta J. J. Rousseau tekstuose vartojamos sąvokos "supplément" dekonstrukcija. Rousseau šią sąvoką vartoja tokių temų kaip gamta/kultūra, kalbėjimas/raštas, heteroerotizmas/autoerotizmas kontekste. Derrida, skaitydamas Rousseau, aptinka tam tikras hierarchijas, kuriose pirmajam nariui suteikta viršenybė, o antrasis įvardijamas kaip "pavojingas supplément" (priedas ir/ar pakaitalas), keliantis grėsmę natūraliai, autentiškai ir sau pakankamai esačiai. Derrida atskleidžia, jog "supplément" ne nutolina esatį, kaip manė Rouseau, bet sukuria esaties, kurios niekuomet ir nebuvo, efektą.Pagrindiniai žodžiai: supplément, raštas, esaties metafizika.Supplément and Metaphysics of Presence in J. Derrida's Of GrammatologyAušra Urbonienė
SummaryThe article deals with Derrida's deconstructive reading of the concept of supplément in the corpus of Rousseau works. Rousseau uses the concept in the context of such themes as nature/culture, speech/writing, heteroerotism/autoerotism, etc. According to Derrida, these binary oppositions are hierarchical, i.e. the first element is given priority over the second one. The denounced element is treated as a 'dangerous supplement' (replacement/addition) endangering the natural and original self-presence. The point of Derrida's reading is to show that it is not the supplement that mediates the presence as Rouseau thought, but it is the chain of supplements that produces the effect of a presence that has never existed.Keywords: supplément, writing, metaphysics of presence.

"Anhand der derridaschen Dekonstruktion in 'Die Struktur, das Zeichen und das Spiel im Diskurs der Wissenschaften vom Menschen' soll die Behauptung geprüft werden, inwiefern es gerechtfertigt erscheint, dass Lévi-Strauss und dessen Strukturalismus einen Verzicht jeglicher Bezugnahme auf ein Zentrum, auf ein Subjekt, auf eine privilegierte Referenz und auf einen Ursprung nahe legen würden. Daran anschließend wird der für die Dekonstruktion entscheidende Begriff der 'De-Zentrierung' unter Berücksichtigung des Natur-Kultur-Verhältnisses erläutert. Was bedeutet der Verzicht auf ein jegliches Zentrum und wie können der Befund der Supplementarität und des aufgepfropften Zusatzes für weitere Analysen genutzt werden?" (Autorenreferat)

Resumo. Este artigo se propõe a uma discussão teórica sobre duas proposições da filósofa Judith Butler: gênero como performance e gênero como paródia. Para isso, recupera o pensamento do filósofo Jacques Derrida e apresenta hipóteses de articulação entre os dois autores, articulações estas que contribuiriam para a compreensão dos argumentos de Butler não "contra" o feminismo, mas como uma problematização dos termos em que as reivindicações emancipatórias da política identitária se instituíram. Palavras-chave: feminismo; gênero; pós-estruturalismo; teoria queer; Judith Butler Performance, género, lenguage y alteridad: J. Butler leyendo a J. Derrida Resumen. Este artículo propone una discusión teórica sobre dos proposiciones de Judith Butler: el género como performance y el género como parodia. Para ello, retoma el pensamiento de Jacques Derrida y presenta hipótesis de articulación entre ambos autores, que contribuirían a la comprensión de los argumentos de Butler no como 'contra' el feminismo sino como una problematización de los términos en que se han instituido las reivindicaciones emancipatorias de la política identitaria. Palabras clave: feminismo; género; post estructuralismo; teoría queer; Judith Butler Performance, gender, language and otherness: Butler as reader of Derrida Abstract. This article discusses two propositions by philosopher Judith Butler: gender as per- formance and gender as parody. A retrieval of the works of philosopher Jacques Derrida sup- ports hypotheses on the dialogue between the two authors, which allow for an understanding of Butler's arguments not as 'against' feminism, but as a challenge to the terms by which the emancipatory claims of identity politics have been formulated.

The effects of Derrida's writings have been widespread in literary circles, where they have transformed current work in literary theory. By contrast Derrida's philosophical writings--which deal with the whole range of western thought from Plato to Foucault--have not received adequate attention by philosophers. Organized around Derrida's readings of major figures in the history of philosophy, Derrida and Deconstruction focuses on and assesses his specifically philosophical contribution. Contemporary continental philosophers assess Derrida's account of philosophical tradition, with each cont

The article aims to analyze the thematic approach of the of forgiveness's pathos by Nietzsche and Derrida, connecting both authors through the theoretical aspect of extra-morality of forgiveness. We sustained that both Nietzsche and Derrida explain the forgiveness's pathos, on the one hand, from a horizon in which calculation or normalization is not more adequate, in order to investigate forgiveness, insofar as forgiveness has to be situated beyond moral, juridical, religious, or even punitive justice sphere; on the other hand, both of them take distance from a reconciliatory tradition in favor of a differentiation's praxis. For this goal, the text goes through two movements: on the one hand, we explain how Nietzsche works up the issue, emphasizing the argumentative strategy of genealogy and the figure of thought of the sovereign individual and, on the other hand, the Nietzschean inheritance for Derrida and approximations of the Algerian Philosopher with the forgiveness theme.
