Abstract:
Friedman with Derrida. Is this not a strange conjunction? What possibility of communication might be found here? And moreover, not merely “Friedman and Derrida,” but rather “Friedman with Derrida.” Our question will therefore be one of the with , one of combination and separation, and hence a question of responsibility of the one for the other. In particular, of what it is possible to think of Friedman with Derrida. While this instance of Friedman with Derrida may be of theoretical or scholarly interest, it is at the same time motivated by an immediately concrete concern with practices of responsibility. It will seek to call into question various slavish repetitions and will do this by going back to the texture of the text.
