Abstract

The aim of this paper is to explore the relation between Jacques Derrida’s Of Grammatology and the science of its time. We begin with a discussion of three important authors cited by Derrida as sources of his research on writing (écriture): Madeleine V-David, André Leroi-Gourhan and those published in the compilation Colloque. Their work is used to explain the role of writing itself in Derrida’s thinking
as a sign of his materialism. In contrast to ordinary uses of the term “writing”, our task is to understand the latter metonymically as an inscription carved into the real. In virtue of the interdisciplinary debate on Derrida’s work, we thus seek to understand the multiple dimensions through which this problem has been thought.
