BISET, Emmanuel. Dimensiones políticas de la deconstrucción: un análisis político de la discusión de Jacques Derrida con la fenomenología y el estructuralismo. Tópicos [online]. 2009, n.18. ISSN 1666-485X.

This article aims at making a contribution within the framework of the new and renowned interest for Jacques Derrida's political thinking. The main objective is to clarify some specific contributions made to the discussion Derrida holds between phenomenology and structuralism. With this in mind, two central dimensions to think politics, found in the earliest texts of the author, are presented: on the one hand, by the discussion of a traditional definition of philosophy, exemplified here with phenomenology, a construction of a different link between philosophy and politics seems to be possible; on the other, by the questioning of the formalism inherent in structuralism from notions like play and force a structural politicity, thought  of as economy of violence, emerges. The methodological assumption that is taken here is that the texts where politics is an explicit subject are not necessarily those from which Jacques Derrida's contributions to think politics must be tracked. For this purpose we are going to narrow down our reading to just three texts: "Introduction to Husserl's Origin of Geometry", "Force and signification" (1963) and "Structure, Sign and Play in the Discourse of the Human Sciences".

Keywords : Derrida; Phenomenology; Structuralism; Writing; Political.
