Palavras-imagens, escrita biográfica e os fantasmas de Derrida

words-images of someone who has died, of their spectra, motivate the concerns that guide the text. The concepts of phonocentrism, archival and spectrality are discussed, based on the works Of Grammatology , Archive Fever and Specters of Marx . The objective is to think to what extent writing, especially biographical writing, is permissive to the spectra or makes it possible to erase them. In the end, the question about the intention of the author who writes is emphasized: whether he intends to guarantee the permanence of his own existence or to point tirelessly to what remains refractory to the analytical and historical synthesis and the tendency to archive.
