Abstract

This article focuses on two indices from Geschlecht III session XIII: (1) an apparently insignificant reference to Stiegler and (2) the recourse to the concept of the engram as a trope of other grammatological figures that are more frequent in Derrida's work. By interweaving these indexes together, the article suggests that Derrida's text can be read as a noteworthy stage in his ongoing dialogue with Bernard Stiegler surrounding the question posed by human evolution to any accounts of the history of life. Along this path, the article inscribes Derrida's (en-)grammatological history of life within the line of thought that goes from Richard Semon's engram theory to Simona Ginsburg and Eva Jablonka's contemporary re-elaboration of this theory. In doing so, it argues that, although for Stiegler Derrida's grammatology aligns with biological reductionism, the latter may provide the theoretical framework for current evolutionary accounts of life as plasticity.

印刻:德里达对斯蒂格勒的答复
这篇文章集中在Geschlecht III第十三届会议的两个指标上:(1)对斯蒂格勒的一个明显微不足道的引用,以及(2)将版画的概念作为德里达作品中更常见的其他语法学人物的比喻。通过将这些索引交织在一起,文章表明,德里达的文本可以被解读为他与伯纳德·斯蒂格勒正在进行的对话中的一个值得注意的阶段,围绕着人类进化对任何生命史描述提出的问题。沿着这条道路,文章将德里达的生命语法史纳入了从理查德·西蒙的版画理论到西蒙娜·金斯伯格和伊娃·贾布隆卡对这一理论的当代重新阐述的思想体系中。在这样做的过程中,它认为,尽管斯蒂格勒-德里达的语法学与生物还原论一致,但后者可能为当前将生命视为可塑性的进化论提供了理论框架。
