Modern Dermabrasions
This essay sketches out a protocol for reading Ren Ellis Neyra's The Cry of the Senses: Listening to Latinx and Caribbean Poetics (2020) from the vantage point of Ellis Neyra's more recent work on Brownness and (non)relation. The essay aims to explore further the tensions that Ellis Neyra has identified across the fault lines of "Black/Brown" racial formations in a post-1492 context by paying specific attention to how these tensions crystalize in…
The Hidden Law of Selfhood
Despite his wide-ranging and incisive engagement with Heidegger's thought across his career, Derrida seems to have written very little about Heidegger's Ereignis manuscripts, which, according to many commentators, constitute the place where Heidegger's thinking comes closest to Derridean deconstruction. Taking up Derrida's comments in Hospitality 1 on the figure of ‘selfhood’ ( Selbstheit) in Heidegger's Contributions to Philosophy, this essay ar…

On the Right to Have Rights
Throughout the translation, I have tried to replicate the rhythm of Hamacher’s thinking at the expense of adopting the more abbreviated syntactical structures that characterize contemporary academic writing in English. Translation decisions that call for some justification are explained in notes. Most notes belong to the author, barring a few exceptions where I provide bibliographical details that are missing in the original. Whenever Hamacher ci…
Invention of the Death Penalty
This essay seeks to account for Derrida's striking claims towards the end of The Death Penalty, Volume I concerning the survivability of the death penalty. Why will the death penalty live on, even beyond its end? How should we understand this claim? And what are the implications of the death penalty's survival for any attempt to continue Derrida's on-going efforts to deconstruct sovereignty in the name of what he often calls ‘the unconditional’? …
Being, Sovereignty, Unconditionality
In this essay, I trace Jacques Derrida's argument in La bête et le souverain II regarding the crucial role that the German verb walten plays in Martin Heidegger's writings. I argue that Derrida's attempt to read Heidegger's Walten provides a crucial articulation of his thinking of sovereignty and unconditionality
