Abstract

GARCIA HUBARD, Gabriela. Bypasses of death: Beckett-Derrida-Poe. Acta poét [online]. 2009, vol.30, n.2, pp.199-213. ISSN 2448-735X.

Bearing in mind, as the main thematic line, the possibility and/or impossibility of living one's death, the first part of this paper explores the similarities between some aporias in the texts of Samuel Beckett and Jacques Derrida; relating then death and writing, aporia is not presented as a simple impasse but as agony, as struggle. Following the tension between death and writing, the second part of the text inquires into the contamination produced by Edgar Allan Poe's work in some of Derrida's texts; the relationship between writing, death and hypnosis seems to undermine the boundary that separates and brings together literature and philosophy.

Keywords : Beckett; Derrida; death and writing.
