67La phénoménologie comme science de l’homme sans l’hommeTijdschrift Voor Filosofie 72 (1): 79-100. 2010.Husserlian phenomenology sets off as a fundamental rejection of those psychologisms and anthropologisms that deduce the structures of appearance from some preexisting essence of man. However, despite a clear rejection of all anthropological foundations of phenomenology, the examples of Husserl, Heidegger and Merleau-Ponty show that the question of man continues to haunt the phenomenological project and constitutes something like a ‘blind spot’. Relating these unspoken tensions to another histori…Read more

919Bare exteriority. Philosophy of the Image and the Image of Philosophy in Martin Heidegger and Maurice BlanchotColloquy (10): 69-82. 2005.The article explores the striking coincidences in Heidegger's and Blanchot's account of the image as death mask. The analysis of the respective theories of the image brings forth two radically divergent conceptions of thinking as "laying patent" (Heidegger) and of thinking as "laying bare" (Blanchot).

63The Inorganic Community. Hypotheses on Literary Communism in Novalis, Benjamin and BlanchotBoundary2. An International Journal of Literature and Culture 39 (3): 75-95. 2012.If literary avant-garde journals and their communities have been, in the twentieth century, a space for creating, if not sustaining, major political utopias, it should help explain why this “literary communism,” as Jean-Luc Nancy called it, is not a weakened or substitutional form of politics. No myth without narration, no implementation without an instrumentation, no organic unity without a political organ voicing its claim, in short: no organicity without an organon. But can there be a (litera…Read more

45Lisibilité / Lesbarkeit (edited book)MSH Paris - Trivium. Revue franco-allemande de sciences humaines et sociales. 2012.Seit über 30 Jahren gibt es in den deutschen wie französischen Kultur- und Geisteswissenschaften das Bestreben, den Begriff der »Lesbarkeit« von seiner engen Bindung an den geschriebenen Text zu emanzipieren. Die vorliegende Ausgabe von Trivium lässt einige der maßgeblichen Stimmen in dieser Debatte zu Wort kommen. Auf der gemeinsamen Schnittfläche von Mikrohistorie, Semiologie, Psychoanalyse, Kulturgeschichte, Physiognomie und Mantik zeichnet sich ein neues und zugleich altes Verständnis des Le…Read more

89The Most Sublime of All Laws: The Strange Resurgence of a Kantian Motif in Contemporary Image PoliticsCritical Inquiry 41 (2): 367-389. 2014.In recent years, the claim of the unrepresentability of the Shoah has stirred vivid debates, especially following the strong positions taken by the French filmmaker Claude Lanzmann and author of Shoah (1986). This claim of unrepresentability, it can be shown, draws part of its attraction from the fact that it oscillates undecidedly between a claim of logical impossibility (“the Shoah can’t be represented”) and a normative demand (“the Shoah shouldn’t be represented”). This essay analyzes the arg…Read more

19Leiblichkeit. Geschichte und Aktualität eines Begriffs (edited book)Mohr-Siebeck / UTB. 2012.Der Körper hat Konjunktur. Als ausgestellter, verfüg- und verführbarer begegnet er uns täglichim Übermaß. Es war nur eine Frage der Zeit, bis im Spiel der sich in den Wissenschafteneinander ablösenden turns auch ein corporeal (oder body) turn ausgerufen würde. Dabeibleibt im genannten turn der Gegenstand der Untersuchung nicht selten reduziert auf das, wasman im deutschen Sprachgebrauch »Körper« nennt: ein physisches Substrat, das wie ein Dingunter Dingen beschreibbar ist. Gegen diese Verkürzu…Read more

57Escritura, encarnação, temporização: Merleau-Ponty e Derrida acerca de A origem da GeometriaDois Pontos 9 (1). 2012.A história intelectual do século XX tem sido escrita ao longo de um cenário que vê, na morte de Merleau-Ponty em 1961, a linha de divisória entre uma geração existencial e fenomenológica e o evento do estruturalismo imediatamente subsequente. A publicação das notas de leitura de Merleau-Ponty sobre o texto A origem da geometria, de Edmund Husserl, tem mostrado quão frágeis são os alicerces desta leitura simplificadora. Na verdade, enquanto a tradução e introdução de Derrida ao texto de Husserl, …Read more

55Reflexiones del cuerpo: sobre la relación entre cuerpo y lenguajeEidos: Revista de Filosofía de la Universidad Del Norte 21 200-220. 2014.Aunque fueron muchos los intentos en la modernidad de superar el dualismo cuerpo y mente, las teorías filosóficas del lenguaje en muchos casos lo reintrodujeron de manera sutil pero no menos eficaz. El artículo discute varios teoremas para pensar la materialidad del signo y muestra la preponderancia, desde Kierkegaard hasta el estructuralismo post-Saussuriano, de pensar la materialización como algo necesario, pero arbitrario en su modalidad. En esta concepción, el cuerpo del lenguaje no es solam…Read more

42Bildwissenschaft in Byzanz. Ein iconic turn avant la lettre?Studia Philosophica: Jahrbuch Der Schweizerischen Philosoph Ischen Gesellschaft, Annuaire de la Société Suisse de Philosphie 69 11-36. 2010.As Hegel once said, in Byzantium, between homoousis and homoiousis, the difference of one letter could decide over the life and death of thousands. As the present essay would like to argue, Byzantine thinking was not only attentive to conceptual, but also to iconic differences. The iconoclastic controversy arose from two different interpretations of the nature of images: whereas iconoclastic philosophy is based on the assumption of a fundamental ‘iconic identity’, iconophile philosophy defends t…Read more

16Vers Madrid. Le cinéma de l'approche de Sylvain GeorgeMultitudes 61 (4): 205-210. 2015.This article offers a reading of the last film by Sylvain Georges, Towards Madrid, dedicated to the movement of the Indignados. In its attempt to focus on the specificity of the documentary mode of filming, it explores three possible interpretations of the following proposition : “Sylvain Georges’s documentary films are to be understood as a cinema of the approach”, where the approach is successively described as a matter of apparatus, as a form of distancing and as a sensitive approximation.

123Could Perspective ever be a Symbolic Form? Revisiting Panofsky with CassirerJournal of Aesthetics and Phenomenology 2 (1): 51-72. 2015.Erwin Panofsky’s essay “Perspective as Symbolic Form” from 1924 is among the most widely commented essays in twentieth-century aesthetics and was discussed with regard to art theory, Renaissance painting, Western codes of depiction, history of optical devices, psychology of perception, or even ophthalmology. Strangely enough, however, almost nothing has been written about the philosophical claim implicit in the title, i.e. that perspective is a symbolic form among others. The article situates th…Read more
