Abstract

INCAMINATO, Natalí. Jacques Derrida in Josefina Ludmer. Clases 1985 and El género gauchesco. Un tratado sobre la patria: Law, Boundary, Unsayability, and Self-Reference. Lit. teor. hist. crit. [online]. 2019, vol.21, n.2, pp.173-200. ISSN 0123-5931.  https://doi.org/10.15446/lthc.v21n2.78661.

The circulation of Jacques Derrida's thought is part of the institutionalization of literary theory within the framework of Argentina's return to democracy. Josefina Ludmer's seminar "Some Issues of Literary Theory" addressed post-structuralism, particularly the texts of Derrida. On the basis of Clases 1985, we analyze the mostly unexplored relations between the philosopher's theory and Ludmer's El género gauchesco. Un tratado sobre la patria. This book abounds in passages regarding deconstruction and its view of literature, showing continuities with Clases. This also makes it possible to affirm Ludmer's continued reading of Jacques Derrida's work, drawing on the conceptions of literature in its relation to the law and the boundary, the question of reference, and the issue of the unsayability of meaning.

Keywords : Jacques Derrida; Josefina Ludmer; literary criticism.
