Este ensaio é dedicado à poética na clínica psicanalítica, entendida como a possibilidade de elaboração da dor e da emergência de processos criativos a partir do acolhimento, por parte do psicanalista, do testemunho de alguém que sofre. Referindo-se a um conjunto bastante heterogêneo de autores - de Sándor Ferenczi a Jacques Derrida, de Nicolas Abraham a Emmanuel Lévinas e Paul Celan -, nele são discriminados os fios que tecem a ética do cuidado - categoria situada nas fronteiras da psicanálise, da filosofia e da literatura - que inspira a concepção de uma “psicanálise a duas pessoas”.

To Come

Discorrer sobre a proximidade entre os trabalhos de Jacques Derrida e Emmanuel Lévinas perpassa pela amizade e a interlocução que mantiveram durante toda a vida. Como um referencial caro a Derrida, a ética levinasiana surgiu como uma alternativa a tradição fi losófi ca do Ocidente. Assim, nos caminhos heterogêneos que suas obras traçaram, pode-se marcar uma profunda intercessão: a alteridade é constitutiva no pensamento. Logo, o último moralista de nossa época tem uma contribuição pertinente ao pensador da desconstrução. Pretende-se nesse artigo analisar a relação do pensamento desses fi lósofos em relação à categoria de Justiça a partir da alteridade.

The principal aim of this study is to participate in the current renewed discourse on the meaning of friendship, initiated in 1994 by the French philosopher Jacques Derrida with his Politics of Friendship, by combining the philosophical method of inquiry with the hermeneutical approach to poetic representations of friendship in the Iliad, the Divine Comedy, and the Decameron. It examines friendship not only as the unique love between two persons based on familiarity and proximity, but as the love for the one who is far away, the stranger, for this is a natural extension of the implicit love of the distant other, of the other-as-stranger – what Emmanuel Levinas has called "the infinity of the Other" – which is concealed in our friend, and which, in the words of Maurice Blanchot, puts us "authentically in relation" with him or her.

Way Of Thinking

The subject of tradition engaged both Emmanuel Lévinas and Jacques Derrida in many of their writings, which explore both the philosophical and cultural significance of tradition and the particular significance of the latter in a specifically Jewish context. Lévinas devoted a few of his Talmudic essays to the subject, and Derrida addressed the issue from the perspective of different philosophical and religious traditions. This article uses the writings of these two thinkers to propose a new way of thinking about the idea of tradition. At the core of its inquiry lie the paradigm of the letter and the use of this metaphor as a means of describing the concept of tradition. Using the phenomenon of the letter as a vantage point for considering tradition raises important points of discussion, due to both the letter’s nature as a text that is sent and the manifest and hidden elements it contains. The focus of this essay is the phenomenon of textual tradition, which encompasses different traditions of reading and interpreting texts and a grasp of the horizon of understanding opened up in relation to the text through its many different interpretations. The attention paid here to the actions of individuals serves to highlight the importance of the interpersonal realm and of ethical thought.

This chapter analyses the common and unfortunate trend in interfaith dialogue of ‘neutralizing’ the Other. In an attempt to find commonality, neutralization introduces syncretism and relativism into interfaith discourse. Worse still, it does violence to the unique character of each religion and its practitioners who participate in the dialogue. According to Emmanuel Levinas, to proceed in this way is to doom the possibility of real relationship from the start and to fall prey to the most insidious and destructive habit of Western thought: the deception of the Neutral that derives from the tyranny of the Same. Meanwhile, Jacques Derrida repeatedly explored the nature of hospitality at length, employing it as a paradigm for the dynamics of interfaith relations. Finally, Paul Ricoeur's notion of the conscience, of the reciprocity of Otherness, of the response within responsibility, contributes an essential element to the groundwork for an authentic relationship outlined by Levinas and Derrida.

Paul Celan

El presente texto trata de aproximarse a la relación entre la ética de Emmanuel Levinas y la poesía de Paul Celan. La conferencia del poeta a la que se alude, pronunciada con motivo de la recepción del premio Georg Büchner en octubre de 1960, se titula “El meridiano”, y en su densa trama —entre muchas otras cuestiones— expone la poesía desde una perspectiva dialógica. El filósofo de la alteridad, por su parte, —a diferencia de la tradición filosófica que vio durante siglos en el problema del ser su tarea fundamental (y la moral autónoma como una consecuencia de la pregunta ontológica)—, asume la precedencia y prelación de la relación con los otros, proponiendo a la ética —heterónoma— como filosofía primera. La ética y la poética se rozan: en sus orígenes griegos, la poesía es acto de la palabra, la ética por su parte es filosofía práctica. A partir de la lectura de estos autores cada uno, a su manera, testimonia acerca del encuentro con el otro, de un momento en que el sujeto despierta de la prolongada ensoñación monológica. A lo largo de este trabajo, la polisemia que recorre al significante “meridiano” dará lugar al acercamiento de estas formas del pensamiento.

Existential Concerns

Since Heidegger, at least, the theme of the event has become a focal point of current debate in continental philosophy. While scholars recognize the important contributions that Jacques Derrida has made to this debate, the significance of his considerations of the death of the other for his conception of the event has not yet been fully appreciated. This essay focuses on Derrida’s efforts to develop the notion of the event in reference to the death of the other through his engagement with Paul Celan in “Rams—Between Two Infinities, The Poem.” I argue that Derrida’s approach results in a three-fold contribution to the debate about the character of the event. Derrida turns to one of Celan’s poems in an effort to find the kind of speech that attests to the event in its singularity, and in this turn, he develops not only the structure of the event’s appearance in the death of the world when the other dies but also the ethical impetus that accompanies this event of the death of the other, namely a call for workless mourning. Through Derrida’s contribution, we learn that the concern for the event not only includes novel approaches to ontology but also attempts to weave together ontological, ethical, as well as existential concerns.
