Resumen

Este artículo interroga cierta escena filosófica –una que se constituye a través de la posición de lo que Jacques Derrida llama “la instancia ética de la violencia”. En el curso del ensayo, analizo esta escena cuasi-jurídica a través de las lecturas de Aristóteles, Walter Benjamin y Giorgio Agamben, entre otros. La escena, construida sobre textos sobre textos sobre violencia, exige una lógica de la pureza; es recelosa de conta-minaciones y equívocos. Y sin embargo, se alimenta de ellos. Analizando las implicaciones del texto, la escritura y la huella para el discurso filosófico sobre la violencia, sigo a Derrida “solo para ver” que puede hacer temblar esta escena.
