Jacques Derrida, Gillian Rose, and the question of home
This paper examines Jacques Derrida’s and Gillian Rose’s conceptions of “home” as an ambiguous realm between belonging and estrangement, rootedness and displacement. Both resist simple accounts of home as a stable refuge or secure place of origin, yet they differ in how they respond to its incompleteness. For Derrida, home is shaped by fear of dissolution and loss—loss of belonging, collapse of the safety that makes dwelling possible. This fear g…
The Unhomely Colonial Home: Reflections on Moufida Tlatli, Leïla Slimani and Albert Camus
This article examines representations of home in colonial North Africa through the works of Moufida Tlatli (1947-2021), Leïla Slimani (1981-), and Albert Camus (1913-1960). Tlatli explores themes of gender, oppression, and social change in the Arab world, focusing on women's experiences and family dynamics within Tunisia's sociopolitical contexts. Slimani, a French-Moroccan writer and journalist, probes contemporary social issues through novels t…
Lefort and Rancière on democracy and sovereignty
This paper focuses on Lefort’s and Rancière’s conceptions of democracy as a set of conflictual processes through which the composition of the public sphere is reassessed. Reading their works together and sometimes in opposition to each other, the paper extracts elements of a theory of inessential sovereignty that avoids the pitfalls of populist antagonism and of neoliberal diffuse domination. It analyses Lefort’s and Rancière’s understandings of …
"Derrida's "Very Idea of Democracy
This paper focuses on the relationships that Derrida establishes between three analytic discussions and three autoimmunities. The analytic discussions are (1) the antinomy of hospitality, related to what happens when the subject faces demands from strangers; (2) the antinomy of the death penalty, related to the meeting between the right to life and the right to end the life of another; (3) the antinomy of animality related to laws and what lies b…

Jewish Philosophy and Jewish Politics
The Attack on Sovereignty: Liberalism and Democracy in Hayek, Foucault, and Lefort
This essay examines and challenges some of the theoretical arguments of the neoliberal attack on the concept of popular sovereignty. I argue that in order to resist both the neoliberal reaction against popular power and the subsequent resurgence of populist rhetoric, we need to rework the concept of popular sovereignty. I focus on three groups of texts written in the early years of the neoliberal shift—namely, from the mid-1970s to early 1980s—wh…
Dilemmas of Political Agency and Sovereignty: The Omelian Allegory
This essay is a political reading of Ursula K. Le Guin's 'The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas', which examines agency and resistance in situations of political wrong. Le Guin's short story allows us to reformulate the questions of the boundaries of popular sovereignty and the opposition to general consent. These concerns will be here regarded as elements of a critique of neoliberal capitalism, in which freedom and self-realization are founded on i…
When Arendt Said “We”: Jewish Identity in Hannah Arendt's Thought
The term “identity” has become commonplace in political discourse—so much so that we tend to think people have always sought to define their collective identities as specific and different from others, and as worthy of special consideration in the political sphere. However, even a superficial look at the history of the term “identity” shows that its use in politics and political theory became prevalent only in the 1970s. Moreover, acceptance of t…

OBJECTIVE: To develop and validate a new self-report questionnaire for the assessment of the psychological features of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition somatic symptom disorder. METHODS: The Somatic Symptom Disorder-B Criteria Scale (SSD-12) was developed in several steps from an initial pool of 98 items. The SSD-12 is composed of 12 items; each of the three psychological subcriteria is measured by four items. …
Levinas on the Social: Guilt and the City
This paper focuses on Levinas's understanding of the social as distinguished from the political. In his neo-phenomenological work, Levinas never conceptualized the difference between the political and the social, because he was more interested in the difference between the ethical and everything else. In his Talmudic Readings, however, with the help of examples or paradigms, he offers a vision of a social domain distinct from the political one. T…

Dogs and Fire: The Ethics and Politics of Nature in Levinas
In Levinas’s philosophy, “nature” refers to two distinct and sometimes opposed concepts. Most often it stands for being and perseverance in being (i.e., conatus): it is what is and wants to be. In some places, however, “nature” indicates the limits of human power, violence, or hubris, and reveals the uncanny unlimitedness of transcendence. In other words, “nature” designates primarily the ontological character of Creation but also sometimes the o…

Levinas and the Unnamed Balaam on Ontology and Idolatry
Levinas establishes an intriguing connection between idolatry and ontology. This connection is aptly illustrated by the biblical character of Balaam, the ambiguous Mesopotamian prophet or sorcerer of Numbers 22–24, who is almost never mentioned in Levinas’s work but who is present, albeit hidden, in the talmudic reading “Contempt for the Torah as Idolatry.” A deconstruction of this talmudic reading uncovers Balaam’s footprints. It also clarifies …
"Political Equality in Levinas's "Judaism and Revolution
Emmanuel Levinas's Talmudic readings were given as lectures at the Colloque des Intellectuels Juifs de Langue Française, a conference that has been held every year in Paris since 1957. His commentaries on the Talmud purported to be non-technical, accessible, and popular adaptations of his philosophical thinking, which had been developed in difficult books written in the technical language of Husserlian phenomenology.1 In fact, however, a full und…

Hobbes and Corneille on Political Representation
In this essay, I compare the meaning of political representation in Hobbes’ Leviathan and Corneille's Cinna. For both authors, a monarch is a “representer” and representation is a necessary condition of effective sovereignty. However, the term “representation” means something entirely different in Hobbes and in Corneille. For the former, it means acting and speaking in the name of a multitude and in its absence; for the latter, it means acting an…

Cette interpretation n'est ni historique ni philologique mais se fonde sur la strategie narrative du texte. Son but est de proposer une lecture nouvelle d'une oeuvre etudiee aussi bien par les rabbins que par la critique litteraire contemporaine et, en particulier, par la critique feministe. L'h…

Paradigmes bibliques, colonialisme et hospitalité dans « L’hôte » de Camus
Cet article est une lecture de la nouvelle « L’hôte » d’Albert Camus, publiée dans son recueil L’exil et le royaume (1957), qui analyse les implications politiques et éthiques du texte en mettant en relief ses références bibliques volontairement effacées ou dissimulées dans le manuscrit définitif. Il apparaît que « L’hôte » est un conte philosophique qui développe deux motifs majeurs des Écritures : Caïn (Gen. 4,1-9) et la tentation de Jésus dans…
Justice or Freedom: Camus’s Aporia
This article argues that Camus’s thinking, as expressed in his works of fiction and non-fiction, is based upon a contradiction between his determination to reconcile politics and ethics and his belief that they irrefutably contradict each other. Throughout his career, Camus’s concerns never diverged from his aporetic attempt to reach an ‘agreement’ between two concepts he regarded as incompatible: justice and freedom. This article demonstrates ho…

Illuminating inheritance: Benjamin's influence on Arendt's political storytelling
This article focuses on the political ‘effect’ that Arendt wished to achieve with her ‘old-fashioned storytelling’. It is argued that she inherited her concept of the ‘redemptive power of narrative’ (Benhabib) from Walter Benjamin. The close relationship of the two intuitively suggests an affinity between Arendt's concept of a ‘fragmented past’ and her ‘storytelling’ and Benjamin's conception of history and narrative. An attempt is made here to d…

Reporting and Storytelling: Eichmann in Jerusalem as Political Testimony
Commentaries on Eichmann in Jerusalem are of two kinds. The first confronts the historical relevance of Arendt's `report' and attempts to ascertain whether her ironical presentation of Eichmann's trial matches reality, namely, the incommensurable suffering of the Jewish people. The second focuses on the meaning of her expression `the banality of evil', and places Arendt in a long tradition of moral and political philosophy concerned with the prob…
