Uma reconsideração radical da noção de identidade ou a promessa de uma língua?
Abstract
I propose, in this essay, a reading of a text by Kanavillil Rajagopalan (The concept of identity in Linguistics: is the time ripe for a radical rethinkink?). What is at stake here is: 1) the question of appropriation of a language, of a signature; and 2) the writing about identity in an economy of promise in and at a language. My reading, in my language, engages itself with the dispersing aspect of a language and reveals that, by assuming it, we should notice that the place of identity is a place; in other words, the place of identity is in the horizon of the impossible. Then, I suggest re-placing the question of identity by a demand of identity.
