    Derrida was nobody's fool. He might have gotten too caught up with the substance-less theories, though he changed thought on a grand scale. We have the books, though we lack the readers. Perchance it is time to do research and get lost in a sea of words. Do not let the books gather dust. Study them and share what you have learned. Read until your eyes hurt, then read some more. What else is there to do in life besides balance the game evenly between reading and writing, reading and writing, not too much of either, just the right amount. Let them take your picture. The people want to see what a handsome gray-haired philosopher looks like.

  • @declan993
    @declan993 12 років тому +6

    @lloplop not at all. He is referring to the way that images and essences get constructed about one's being outside of one's control, through social interaction and our (human's) faculties of knowing.

  • @markferbrache

    @charlatanbaby the difference is he makes a living and reputation from it. this man is also bad ass and also a brilliant teacher and writer.
    also i think the act of writing something down makes it somewhat external to yourself, and therefore more handle-able.
    a lot of his work isn't necessarily introspection as well, it's deconstruction.
    he also doesn't wear "proper clothes" unless he is leaving the house. derrida's dedication to pyjamas alone is enough reason to love him

    Every word and sentence that J. Derrida says,has an underlying depth .And these words actually reflects on his theories on Sign and meaning.He talks of the anxiety, narcissism,death(of author and his authoritativeness),which can be found in his speech at J.Hookins University regarding deconstruction.Such a brilliant mind and insight.

    A detail but there is a mistake in the subtitles (and it's repeated 2 or 3 times). Derrida is not referring to 1969 but to 1979 (les Etats Generaux de la Philosophy were 10 years after the events of 1969).

    What is the "death implied when one takes a picture" at 4:10. I must know more about this

    • @dilucidis
      @dilucidis 7 місяців тому

      An admission of death is implicit in the question for which the photograph is the answer. If you remain alive as you are indefinitely, there would be no need for pictures; they can just come and see you as you are. But the idea of a picture, especially one taken "for posterity", is one which gains greater functionality the more the subject deteriorates, culminating in death. Consider "what was he like before...?" and you get the implication of death inherent to photography.

    @milascave2 11 років тому +5

    He desribes himself a Narcicistic in the sense, mainly, that he does not want the world to see his aging face (though some of this sort of thing dates back to his youth.) However, Iprefer his deeper reason, that photgraphs of writers tend to lend themselves to celebrity and to personality cults. Nevertheless, he is right. It can't be helped.
    (His desire to not be the center of a personality cult is, however, the opposite of Narcicistic.)
    Autistic? I'd have to know more about him to make my amature diagnosis. Certainly Neitzsche had all the symptoms of aspergers.

    • @offair911
      @offair911 6 років тому +3

      He's talking about narcissism in an adversarial sense, not in an erotic sense. It's still narcissism tho. He didn't want his photograph taken because he was concerned with how political/cultural rivals and opponents might portray him. Then he realized that it was an impossible endeavor and relinquished his ego defenses and his desire to control. The new existential mode he's describing sounds like flow state essentially. None of what he's saying is incredibly profound from a psychological perspective but his apparent sincerity and candidness definitely makes me more interested in getting into his work. Especially the work he wrote after 1969 when he had his existential shift.

    • @marcoonroad7
      @marcoonroad7 Рік тому

      The most based guy from past century. It's based from an idea of old tribes, where photos would steal our soul, so the less photos we take, the more live we are against the death machine of capitalism. People who take photos every time to post on social media, are just reinforcement robots, without critical thinking and just automated moves, that reinforcement just feeds the social media algorithm and kills the subject's inner peace, we can conclude that:
      subject into death =
      = subject into object =
      = subject into image =
      = subject into spectacle =
      = subject into machine food/energy =
      = commodity into subject

  • @jean-francoisbrunet2031
    @jean-francoisbrunet2031 8 місяців тому

    So, in summary: until 1979, he did not let photographs being taken of him because he thought important to disappear as an author, but also because he was obsessed with his own disastifying image. It is certainly nice when the deepest philosophical imperative coincides with the most childish and narcissistic impulse. Lucky Derrida!

    Is he autobiographically rehersing Heidegger here? Is he actually claiming that he has a kind of _Being and Time_ 'be authentic to the teaching and anxcious in the face of death/Nazi/Will to power/control' kind of thing over his own image which he subsequently abandoned to releasment in the face of the realization of the impossibility of control- a realization that came about through his actions in the political sphere. That is, with some general exatitude, early to late Heidegger in miniature.

  • @charlatanbaby
    @charlatanbaby 14 років тому +1

    It's better to conduct yourself on your primal, naturalistic urges than to ponder and probe every facet of your existence. Doesn't Derrida suffer from anxiety and angst from all this introspection? I went through this phase in my life and was utterly morbid.

      +Mila Thomas During his young adult life, he was the target of many different types of discrimination. he found the act of being judged based on appearance to be illogical. Bearing in mind his history and what he explains in this interview, its safe to assume that this was an extention or adapted form of the anxiety he held when he was young, and that is to be misinterpreted due to miscommunication or misrepresentation. perhaps this is even explains how he started on the concept of deconstruction.

    no, I am saying autism/autistic spectrum is the primary philosophical condition and derrida's aversion to being photographed is neurobiological and reflective of a structurally different brain very far from "normative reality"
    if you accept that far from being pejorative, that in fact i applaud "disorder" you might understand what i say abit better, in fact its your prejudice against structurally different neurobiology that is limiting you :o(
