ABSTRACT

FRANÇOIS EWALD Let’s imagine your future biographer. One may think that, in an idle repetition of the date on the public record, he will write: Jacques Derrida was born on July 15, 1930, in El-Biar, near Algiers [Algeria]. To this biological birth, it is perhaps up to you to oppose your true birth, the one which would proceed from that private or public event during which you would have really become yourself.
