Per què no disposem d'un concepte adequat a Déu? Jean-Luc Marion, Jacques Derrida i Mark C. Taylor

El nostre objectiu és confrontar el pensament de la donació de Jean-Luc Marion amb les reflexions entorn de la "différance" de Jacques Derrida per analitzar per què difereix, gairebé fins a oposar-se, el motiu pel qual aquests dos autors consideren que no pot proporcionar-se un concepte o una definició adequats a Déu. PARAULES CLAU: Déu, "différance", Edmund Husserl, fenòmens saturats, Jacques Derrida, Jean-Luc Marion, Mark C. Taylor, significant, significat, teologia negativa. Why don’t we have an adequate concept of God? Jean-Luc Marion, Jacques Derrida and Mark C. Taylor. ABSTRACT: Our goal is to compare and contrast the thought of Jean-Luc Marion with Jacques Derrida’s reflections about différance in order to explore why the reasons according to which both authors hold that a concept or a definition of God cannot be provided differ almost completely. KEY-WORDS: Différance, Edmund Husserl, God, Jacques Derrida, Jean-Luc Marion, Mark C. Taylor, negative theology, saturated phenomena, signified, signifier

'Genealogical misfortunes': Achille Mbembe's (re-)writing of postcolonial Africa

In his latest work, Sortir de la grande nuit, the Cameroonian social theorist, Achille Mbembe nuances his description of the ontological status of the postcolonial African subject, which he had theorized extensively in his best-known text, On the Postcolony, and at the same time exploits the conceptual resources of a number of Jean-Luc Nancy’s lexical innovations. This recent text is also a reprise of an earlier autobiographical essay, and the gesture of this ‘reinscription’ is critical to our understanding of Mbembe’s status as a contemporary ‘postcolonial thinker’, and the way in which he positions himself within a certain intellectual genealogy of postcolonial theory. Within this trajectory, I argue that we can read fruitfully his relationship to three influential figures: Jacques Derrida, Jean-Luc Nancy and Ruben Um Nyobè
