Abstract
MUNOZ GONZALEZ, Diana M. Textuality of the Text. Around the Gadamer-Derrida Encounter. Franciscanum [online]. 2016, vol.58, n.165, pp.19-49. ISSN 0120-1468.
Gadamerian hermeneutics and Derridian deconstruction are usually aproached as two opposite ways of dealing with texts. Whereas the first one seeks to understand the sense conveyed by the text, the second one would instead disrupt the meaning intention held by the text. This paper tries however to bring both approaches closer together by setting the concept of textuality as their point of intersection. Indeed, textuality reveals itself in both cases as a pure negativity that not only animates the hermeneutical task to understand the text, but also resists and makes impossible to grasp its meaning.
Keywords : Gadamer; Derrida; hermeneutics; deconstruction; textuality.
