- W4362726771 abstract "Reviewed by: Derrida on Exile and the Nation: Reading Fantom of the Other by Herman Rapaport James Martell Herman Rapaport, Derrida on Exile and the Nation: Reading Fantom of the Other, London Bloomsbury, 2021. 248 pp. As Rapaport explains, Derrida on Exile and the Nation is a study of Jacques Derrida's lecture course, Philosophical Nationality and Nationalism: Fantom of the Other … given at the École des Hautes Études en Science Sociales (EHESS) during 1984–85 (1). For Derrida scholars, this will become a definitive text in the study of Derrida's complex investigation into the aporias and complexities of Western political thought, especially as they are embodied in the plurivalent German term Geschlecht. As is well [End Page 497] known, Derrida had planned a four-essay monograph on this term that slowly appeared, albeit in separate parts, during and after his lifetime, with the missing third part, Geschlecht III, being published in 2018. While David Farrell Krell already wrote an amazing study, Phantoms of the Other (2015), on the possibility of this full monograph on Geschlecht, Rapaport's volume distinguishes itself not only by focusing on this fascinating and undecidable term but also by trying to relate the whole of the Fantom course's lectures and to contextualize them in terms of one another (6). However, it would be a mistake to consider the book a simple recounting or relation of the Fantom course. As Rapaport's chosen title suggests, he has discovered two constant concerns during the course, and perhaps throughout Derrida's career as a whole: the nation and exile. What will be more interesting to the reader is the way Rapaport explains the Derridean problematization of these terms through a notion extrapolated from Derrida's own engagement with Heidegger and Trakl: the inceptual. As Rapaport explains in his consideration on the complexity of Geschlecht, especially given its etymological sense of hit, strike, or imprint (Schlag), Derrida will become very attentive to Heidegger's innovation, by way of Trakl, of an account of an inceptual or latent Schlag whose disruption is gentle—a privative or withheld violence—given alongside a successive or manifest Schlag that is overtly violent and divisive (10). Thus, Rapaport's focus on the term and dimensions of the inceptual is an attempt to rethink Derrida's notorious interest in the philosophical dimensions of the question of the origin, since his master's thesis, The Problem of Genesis in Husserl's Philosophy, through his first important works like Dissemination, and up to his focus on Geschlecht, as both a political and a gender question. In Rapaport's words: Derrida is inherently fascinated by not just genus but genesis as a philosophical problematic (148), which consequently makes deconstruction a writing or philosophizing inherently enmeshed in the question of the origin and its distinctions. This focus on the inceptual as the pre-originary allows Rapaport to create a direct connection between what he calls Heidegger's inceptual philosophizing (111) as a questioning of Being/beings, with Derrida's own différance as the original marking, first Schlag or Geschlecht. In this way, the inceptual becomes the pre-space where identity and difference converge or have not yet been distinguished, consequently giving to space a certain preeminence over time as a genealogical dimension. Given that the book is a relation of the seminar, its structure follows that of the course. After the introduction, where Rapaport explains his project and the plan of the volume, part 1 focuses on Derrida's own engagement with (1) the question of philosophical nationalism versus cosmopolitanism, (2) Adorno's return after the war, and the question of Germanness, (3) certain universalist tendencies in Tocqueville, Schlegel, [End Page 498] and the Greek poet Adonis, and (4) the problem of world and worldlessness in Arendt and Wittgenstein. Part 2 focuses more directly on the plurivalences and aporias of (5) the term Geschlecht, (6) the inceptual itself as a place of retreat, and, finally, on the idea of the nation as (7) promise and (place of) return. This more or less strict chronological structure does not prevent Rapaport from not only making connections that Derrida himself will make in later publications (like Khôra), but..." @default.
