Levinas on law: A Derridean reading of Manderson’s Proximity, Levinas, and the Soul of Law

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that being true to Derrida's thinking requires that proximity be viewed not as simply making law responsive as proposed by Manderson, but as having a paradoxical structure, and that if proximity is viewed in this manner, judges are faced with a true responsibility in deciding negligence cases; only then will justice stand a chance.

"Revolution in Religious Language": The Relevance of Julia Kristeva's Theory of 'Signifiance' for Theology

Abstract: This dissertation applies Julia Kristeva’ theory of revolution in the practice of signifiance to religious discourse. In particular, it argues that the salient features of signifiance are present and active in religious speech acts as well as poetic language, the subject of Kristeva’s doctoral thesis Revolution in Poetic Language. Signifiance describes the process in which meaning is produced in linguistic utterance, and its intentional practice is subversive not only in terms of language but culture in general.
