(Re)Situating Geschlecht 3: The Political Stakes of Jacques Derrida's Reading of Martin Heidegger's Reading of Georg Trakl.

      ab: In his 1985 lecture, Geschlecht III, Derrida sought to 'situate Geschlecht within Heidegger's path of thought'. Having identified a political disclosure of sorts in Heidegger's discussion of the significance of Trakl's poetic invocation of the polysemic, German word 'Geschlecht', Derrida intimates that Heidegger betrays ideas and presumptions concerning the 'problematic of philosophical nationalism'. Given the contentious political context of Heideggerian thought, some scholars might hope that Derrida's intervention here would bear upon the divisive scholarly concern referred to as the 'Heidegger Question'. While Geschlecht III does not provide a resolution, a close reading betrays productive political implications to his manner of engagement. In this brief study, I will survey the political stakes of various methodological approaches to reading Heidegger, with Derrida's manner of reading Heidegger's 'Language in the Poem' at the centre. Ultimately, I argue that Derrida and Heidegger both appeal to a particular sense of the political that must be respected, though not necessarily accepted.
