| Description | The contribution is based on a reading of Kafka's short story (parable) "Before the Law," as presented by Derrida in his text of the same name. Through the prism of Zdeněk Kožmín's understanding, the lecture focuses on how Derrida defines law in relation to literature (literature in relation to law), where he sees their mutual places; what possibilities this topology establishes and what it excludes. Attention is also paid to what Derrida leaves aside: the dimension of the "terrible" that is revealed or demonstrated to the gatekeeper when looking inside the law, as well as the problem of "seeing" and visuality. Last but not least, the relationship between death and the law in its many forms is clarified. |
