sorry to be offtopic but does anybody know a method to log back into an instagram account? I stupidly forgot the account password. I appreciate any tips you can give me!
@Daniel Lance i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and Im trying it out atm. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Yes, the idiot is so busy trying to keep track of the headshot of him he keeps translating "soixante dix-neuf" as "soixante neuf", لا اله الا الله محمد رسول الله
OK did anyone else find the switch from french to english at 3:12 to be not only surprising because of its nonchalance, but also because of how good his american accent was!?!
No I mean he speaks both languages and knows his interviewer does too so he just picks the correct term he needs whichever language it comes from and runs with it
Derrida was nobody's fool. He might have gotten too caught up with the substance-less theories, though he changed thought on a grand scale. We have the books, though we lack the readers. Perchance it is time to do research and get lost in a sea of words. Do not let the books gather dust. Study them and share what you have learned. Read until your eyes hurt, then read some more. What else is there to do in life besides balance the game evenly between reading and writing, reading and writing, not too much of either, just the right amount. Let them take your picture. The people want to see what a handsome gray-haired philosopher looks like.
@lloplop not at all. He is referring to the way that images and essences get constructed about one's being outside of one's control, through social interaction and our (human's) faculties of knowing.
when did Derrida claim he was narcissistic...my experience of him as a person run counter to the rude, juvenile and ignorant comments I have read here.
A detail but there is a mistake in the subtitles (and it's repeated 2 or 3 times). Derrida is not referring to 1969 but to 1979 (les Etats Generaux de la Philosophy were 10 years after the events of 1969).
@charlatanbaby the difference is he makes a living and reputation from it. this man is also bad ass and also a brilliant teacher and writer. also i think the act of writing something down makes it somewhat external to yourself, and therefore more handle-able. a lot of his work isn't necessarily introspection as well, it's deconstruction. he also doesn't wear "proper clothes" unless he is leaving the house. derrida's dedication to pyjamas alone is enough reason to love him
Every word and sentence that J. Derrida says,has an underlying depth .And these words actually reflects on his theories on Sign and meaning.He talks of the anxiety, narcissism,death(of author and his authoritativeness),which can be found in his speech at J.Hookins University regarding deconstruction.Such a brilliant mind and insight.
An admission of death is implicit in the question for which the photograph is the answer. If you remain alive as you are indefinitely, there would be no need for pictures; they can just come and see you as you are. But the idea of a picture, especially one taken "for posterity", is one which gains greater functionality the more the subject deteriorates, culminating in death. Consider "what was he like before...?" and you get the implication of death inherent to photography.
I agree I think he's quite far from being narcissistic, from much of the interviews I've read with him he seemed very generous with the people who were interviewing him even when they asked him questions that were not particularly well formulated.
He desribes himself a Narcicistic in the sense, mainly, that he does not want the world to see his aging face (though some of this sort of thing dates back to his youth.) However, Iprefer his deeper reason, that photgraphs of writers tend to lend themselves to celebrity and to personality cults. Nevertheless, he is right. It can't be helped. (His desire to not be the center of a personality cult is, however, the opposite of Narcicistic.) Autistic? I'd have to know more about him to make my amature diagnosis. Certainly Neitzsche had all the symptoms of aspergers.
He's talking about narcissism in an adversarial sense, not in an erotic sense. It's still narcissism tho. He didn't want his photograph taken because he was concerned with how political/cultural rivals and opponents might portray him. Then he realized that it was an impossible endeavor and relinquished his ego defenses and his desire to control. The new existential mode he's describing sounds like flow state essentially. None of what he's saying is incredibly profound from a psychological perspective but his apparent sincerity and candidness definitely makes me more interested in getting into his work. Especially the work he wrote after 1969 when he had his existential shift.
So, in summary: until 1979, he did not let photographs being taken of him because he thought important to disappear as an author, but also because he was obsessed with his own disastifying image. It is certainly nice when the deepest philosophical imperative coincides with the most childish and narcissistic impulse. Lucky Derrida!
Can't imagine what Derrida would have to say about the countless zombies on instagram - Who spend half their waking lives making stupid inane faces and pictures.. The Horror of Horrors
The most based guy from past century. It's based from an idea of old tribes, where photos would steal our soul, so the less photos we take, the more live we are against the death machine of capitalism. People who take photos every time to post on social media, are just reinforcement robots, without critical thinking and just automated moves, that reinforcement just feeds the social media algorithm and kills the subject's inner peace, we can conclude that: subject into death = = subject into object = = subject into image = = subject into spectacle = = subject into machine food/energy = = commodity into subject
Is he autobiographically rehersing Heidegger here? Is he actually claiming that he has a kind of _Being and Time_ 'be authentic to the teaching and anxcious in the face of death/Nazi/Will to power/control' kind of thing over his own image which he subsequently abandoned to releasment in the face of the realization of the impossibility of control- a realization that came about through his actions in the political sphere. That is, with some general exatitude, early to late Heidegger in miniature.
What did he mean by the death effect of photography, I thought photographs were meant to immortalise ! and he was going to say something about the superstition involved around photography and that woman stopped him...damn you woman !
I think what he meant by the death effect of photography is that once you take a photograph, it captures a moment but like a statue it holds no life of its own.
+Mila Thomas During his young adult life, he was the target of many different types of discrimination. he found the act of being judged based on appearance to be illogical. Bearing in mind his history and what he explains in this interview, its safe to assume that this was an extention or adapted form of the anxiety he held when he was young, and that is to be misinterpreted due to miscommunication or misrepresentation. perhaps this is even explains how he started on the concept of deconstruction.
It's better to conduct yourself on your primal, naturalistic urges than to ponder and probe every facet of your existence. Doesn't Derrida suffer from anxiety and angst from all this introspection? I went through this phase in my life and was utterly morbid.
in the spirit of deconstruction, i like to think that derrida is neither an absolute idiot, as many claim, nor an absolute genius, as many claim. He has a lot of interesting, valuable things to say and also a lot of stupid things to say.
richiewhitehead/itchie pikehead replies (ed. he deleted it) There's normativity in your descriptive subterfuge my reply you've got to be fucking joking ! :o()
That'd be telling only one aspect of it though. You seem like someone who likes singular, simple explanations for everything. Though that is also just an assumption.
no, I am saying autism/autistic spectrum is the primary philosophical condition and derrida's aversion to being photographed is neurobiological and reflective of a structurally different brain very far from "normative reality" if you accept that far from being pejorative, that in fact i applaud "disorder" you might understand what i say abit better, in fact its your prejudice against structurally different neurobiology that is limiting you :o(
I love that as the interview says he didn't like to be photographed the cameraman zooms right up his nostrils

@Daniel Lance it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thank you so much you saved my account !
@Jamari George you are welcome :)
Attention! Subtitling error
The year referred by Derrida in dialogue was 1979, not 1969
I'm french. I confirm the mistake.
Yes, the idiot is so busy trying to keep track of the headshot of him he keeps translating "soixante dix-neuf" as "soixante neuf", لا اله الا الله محمد رسول الله

No I mean he speaks both languages and knows his interviewer does too so he just picks the correct term he needs whichever language it comes from and runs with it
sounds so funny to me, like they dubbed over his voice with a random guy from the midwest
Language is relative and dualistic anyway....
when he says 'public! available!' at 3:12
Derrida was nobody's fool. He might have gotten too caught up with the substance-less theories, though he changed thought on a grand scale. We have the books, though we lack the readers.

Hi, where did this clip come from? I'd love to quote him for an essay I'm doing on photography.
Thank you!
3:13 what a great American accent
A detail but there is a mistake in the subtitles (and it's repeated 2 or 3 times). Derrida is not referring to 1969 but to 1979 (les Etats Generaux de la Philosophy were 10 years after the events of 1969).
the "events" where in 68
@charlatanbaby the difference is he makes a living and reputation from it. this man is also bad ass and also a brilliant teacher and writer.
also i think the act of writing something down makes it somewhat external to yourself, and therefore more handle-able.
a lot of his work isn't necessarily introspection as well, it's deconstruction.
he also doesn't wear "proper clothes" unless he is leaving the house. derrida's dedication to pyjamas alone is enough reason to love him
As already mentionned there's a mistake in the translation: it's not 1969, but 1979.
Does anynone know where the itw comes from ? A dvd ? thanks for help
Yann
where can i find the whole recording of this interview ?
i can find singular clips here on youtube but would like to watch it as a whole thing.
Derrida (2004) is the title of the documentary
Whats the name of this interview?
oh ok. its from the movie "Derrida" 2002 by Kirby Dick, Amy Ziering isn it ?
'''Soixante dix-neuf'' ( aka ''mille neuf cent soixante dix neuf'') is 1979. NOT 1969 as erroneously translated in the subtitles.
Kiitos,
John K Lindgren why in finnish?
That American accent scared the shit out of me.
Every word and sentence that J. Derrida says,has an underlying depth .And these words actually reflects on his theories on Sign and meaning.He talks of the anxiety, narcissism,death(of author and his authoritativeness),which can be found in his speech at J.Hookins University regarding deconstruction.Such a brilliant mind and insight.
What is the "death implied when one takes a picture" at 4:10. I must know more about this
An admission of death is implicit in the question for which the photograph is the answer. If you remain alive as you are indefinitely, there would be no need for pictures; they can just come and see you as you are. But the idea of a picture, especially one taken "for posterity", is one which gains greater functionality the more the subject deteriorates, culminating in death. Consider "what was he like before...?" and you get the implication of death inherent to photography.

I agree I think he's quite far from being narcissistic, from much of the interviews I've read with him he seemed very generous with the people who were interviewing him even when they asked him questions that were not particularly well formulated.
Why does he seem to lapse into an American accent at 3:13?
translation's inaccurate at times
He desribes himself a Narcicistic in the sense, mainly, that he does not want the world to see his aging face (though some of this sort of thing dates back to his youth.) However, Iprefer his deeper reason, that photgraphs of writers tend to lend themselves to celebrity and to personality cults. Nevertheless, he is right. It can't be helped.

WRONG TRANSLATION. IT IS 1979 NOT 1969
The destroyment of the books message begins with the picture.
So, in summary: until 1979, he did not let photographs being taken of him because he thought important to disappear as an author, but also because he was obsessed with his own disastifying image. It is certainly nice when the deepest philosophical imperative coincides with the most childish and narcissistic impulse. Lucky Derrida!
Can't imagine what Derrida would have to say about the countless zombies on instagram - Who spend half their waking lives making stupid inane faces and pictures.. The Horror of Horrors
Or the zombies of RUclips, who spend their time making inane, facile comments...
@@core-nix1885 or the people who make pointless responses to these comments after over a year. And then me responding to the response 😔
@@jdonthepc9831 at least I know I'm a zombie
开头那zoom in要笑死了, 直直地对准他可还行
for me:
frame = being recognized by others as
photographic conventions = common sense understanding
passive = stable
"soixante-dix-neuf" = 1979
Photography implies death.
What a remark!

Hesam Yavary Oh ok....and do u have any idea on the superstition about photography?
Hesam Yavary P.S. Thank you for the first answer

Hesam Yavary Thank you...i would like to know more on deconstruction and Derrida...could you please recommend some books
Narcissists are complicated.
3:12 Derrida speaking those two words in English was so jarring. He sounds like just... a dude hahah.
It's better to conduct yourself on your primal, naturalistic urges than to ponder and probe every facet of your existence. Doesn't Derrida suffer from anxiety and angst from all this introspection? I went through this phase in my life and was utterly morbid.
.
"lol I rly hate my face :::'(((( XD"
My girlfriend used to say this sort of shit when we were 16
LOL
His physical image was the least of his problems.
+Carolina Flores that he's not smart enough to understand derrida.
@Carolina Flores Derrida was a babe, duh.
Sartre would laugh at this so hard.
explain why?! :)
Mani Froh Sartre thought he was ugly and still had confidence to show his face everywhere.
but derrida doesn't think he's ugly, as he explains
Hahaha true
Read Les Mots
Je pense que c'est impossible pour Sartre de ne pas avoir énormément d'admiration pour Derrida. Et d'ailleurs, leurs idées n'étaient pas si éloignées.
Does this guy overthink everything? Get to the point pal.
in the spirit of deconstruction, i like to think that derrida is neither an absolute idiot, as many claim, nor an absolute genius, as many claim. He has a lot of interesting, valuable things to say and also a lot of stupid things to say.
autism is the neurobiological implementation of deconstruction :o)
Could you please explain what you mean?
richiewhitehead/itchie pikehead replies (ed. he deleted it)
There's normativity in your descriptive subterfuge
my reply
you've got to be fucking joking ! :o()
long winded
all he had to say was I am insecure! LOL complex justifications for insecurity. cute.
That'd be telling only one aspect of it though.
You seem like someone who likes singular, simple explanations for everything. Though that is also just an assumption.
you’re also cute ε٩(๑> ₃
no, I am saying autism/autistic spectrum is the primary philosophical condition and derrida's aversion to being photographed is neurobiological and reflective of a structurally different brain very far from "normative reality"
if you accept that far from being pejorative, that in fact i applaud "disorder" you might understand what i say abit better, in fact its your prejudice against structurally different neurobiology that is limiting you :o(
