The main purpose of this thesis is to explore the theoretical and methodological approaches that are involved in understanding how to achieve interaction, communication and collaboration in socio-technical contexts. Hence this thesis seeks for a systemic, ontological framework for understanding and approaching interaction, communication and collaboration processes, which is able to describe the ways we organise in networked societal groups or contexts of interactive participation, within a context of psychological, social, and material relations.

Co-edited by: Nicole Anderson Critical and Cultural Studies Department Macquarie University, Australia General Editor, Derrida Today H. Peter Steeves Professor of Philosophy DePaul University, Chicago Special Issue Topic In this special issue of Derrida Today, the editors wish to address the question of the meeting of deconstruction and science, the latter broadly defined. Since the 1960s and ‘70s, poststructuralist thought has garnered a reputation for being at odds with science and the Enlightenment worldview upon which modern science is based. This is understandable if for no other reason than the fact [...]

Radical Atheism: Derrida and the Time of Life

By μο.|2016-01-12T21:10:51+02:00November 10th, 2008|philosophy, politics|0 Comments

Radical Atheism: Derrida and the Time of Life (Meridian: Crossing Aesthetics), Martin Hagglund "It is a masterful performance and one cannot help but be convinced in the end... Radical Atheism is a brilliant and most original work that is certain to be read, argued with, commented on, and frequently cited. It carves out a way of reading and interpreting Derrida—indeed all of Derrida, from early to late works—that every reader of Derrida will have to reckon with." Michael Naas, DePaul University "Impeccably argued, Radical Atheism is bound to have a significant impact on Derrida scholarship. By developing the logic of survival, Hägglund convincingly demonstrates that Derrida is essentially a philosopher of life, but of the only life there is—the life of finite beings—and hence a radical thinker of temporality. It is a very courageous book as well that critically takes issue with the negative theologians' appropriation of Derrida and makes [...]

διαφωρές (απο)δόμησης

By μο.|2016-01-12T21:11:04+02:00August 10th, 2008|philosophy|1 Comment

Εν δυνάμει, μπορούν να υπάρξουν/κατασκευαστούν πολλών ειδών διαφορές : καλό - κακό, άσπρο - μαύρο, αριστερό - δεξιό, νέο - παλαιό, πραγματικό - μεταφυσικό, υποτακτικό - ανυπότακτο, εδώ - εκεί, ναι - όχι ... ίσως μια πιο "ουσιαστική διαφωρά" να είναι αυτή ανάμεσα σε αυτούς που εστιάζουν στις διαφορές καθαυτές και δρουν βάσει του πλαισίου τους και σε αυτούς που βλέπουν τις εκάστοτε αναδυόμενες διαφωρές ως έναυσμα για αναλυτική προς την φύση αυτών δράση. Θα μπορούσε όμως αυτό το παιχνίδι των διαφωρών να είναι οντολογικά ατελείωτο; Το πιθανότερο είναι να μας οδηγήσει σε μια ατέρμονη ενέλιξη, μια ιδεολογική υποτροπή, του τύπου του ακραίου μετα-στρουκτουραλισμού, η οποία στην προσπάθεια της να στηριχθεί κάπου, να ορίσει την γλώσσα της, την καταστρέφει αδιάκοπα χωρίς να αφήσει κανένα ίχνος πίσω της. Η (απο)δομητική σκέψη όμως δεν ορίζεται βάσει της υπερίσχυσης της υποτροπής έναντι της της υπέρβασης και της εγγραφής όπως αναφέρεται σε διάφορες ερμηνείες [...]

deconstructive argumentation

By μο.|2016-01-12T21:11:30+02:00December 14th, 2007|philosophy, politics|1 Comment

... First of all, the question of argumentation. We are here in order to discuss, and in order to exchange arguments as clear, univocal and communicable as possible. On the other hand, the question that is often raised on the subject of deconstruction is that of argumentation. I am reproached-deconstructionists are reproached-with not arguing or not liking argumentation, etc., etc. This is obviously a defamation. But this defamation derives from the fact that there is argumentation and argumentation, and this is often because in contexts of discussion like the present one where the prepositional form, a certain type of prepositional form, governs, and where a certain type of micrology is necessarily effaced, where the attention to language is necessarily reduced, argumentation is clearly essential. And what interests me, obviously, are other protocols, other argumentative situations where one does not renounce argumentation simply because one refuses to discuss under certain conditions. [...]

Ζακ Ντερριντά – Ζωή, θάνατος, επιβίωση

By μο.|2016-01-12T21:11:31+02:00December 3rd, 2007|philosophy, politics|0 Comments

"...Ενώ ο Φρόυντ υποστηρίζει το δικαίωμα στη ζωή και τον ειρηνισμό αξιοδοτώντας τις ενορμήσεις ζωής εις βάρος της ενόρμησης θανάτου, ωμότητας, δηλαδή τη ζωή της "οικονομίας του δυνατού", ο Ντερριντά αντίθετα θα το στηρίζει στην α-δύνατη ζωή, στην "οικονομία του αδυνάτου", μέσω της οποίας θα συνδέσει το αδύνατον, το συμβάν, το απροϋπόθετο, την ετερόνομη υπερ-ηθική, την παθητική απόφαση, το "ου φονεύσεις" με την επιβίωση -και δη με την επιβίωση του άλλου..." Συγγραφέας: Μπιτσώρης Βαγγέλης Εκδόσεις: Νεφέλη ...Με δύο λόγια, στο έργο του Ντερριντά, το "επιζήν" ως δομική και αυστηρά αρχέγονη διάσταση, η οποία δεν απορρέει ούτε από το ζην ούτε από το θνήσκειν, είναι συνδεδεμένο με την έννοια του ίχνους ή του φασματικού. Πράγματι, ήδη από το 1967, στα δύο πρώτα έργα του "Η φωνή και το φαινόμενο" και "Περί γραμματολογίας" ο Ντερριντά αποδομώντας τη χουσσερλιανή και σωσσυριανή ερμηνεία του σημείου (signe) εισάγει αντ' αυτού την έννοια του ίχνους [...]

decon

"Derrida's name is most closely associated with the often cited but rarely understood term "deconstruction." When responsibly understood, the implications of deconstruction are quite different from the misleading clichés often used to describe a process of dismantling or taking things apart." The real meaning of deconstruction. M.Taylor, 2004 Deconstruction departs from a refusal of authority; a negative response to any authority or determining power of identity. Deconstruction is not a method or a practice that can be applied to deconstruct an idea or an artifact. If something is deconstructible, it is already deconstructible; always already deconstructible. Deconstruction consists of anything would be to say it consists of deconstruction, dislocating, displacing, disarticulating, disjoining, putting “out of joint” the authority of the “is”. The same applies for deconstruction “itself”. Deconstruction is not reducible to an essential feature, task or style. Like any word, idea or meaning, deconstruction “acquires its value from its [...]
