Secreto, perdón y sacrificio. El concepto de literatura en Donner la mort: Derrida, Kierkegaard, Kafka

The dynamics of religious subjectivity whichKierkegaard defines in Fear and Trembling through Abraham’sfigure becomes, with Derrida’s deconstruction, thediynamics of any subjectivity in a postmetaphysic horizon,a subjectivity which has internalized the Absolut andtakes the autoconstitution’s task as an absolute and irreplaceableduty. This dynamics, based in secret, forgivenessand sacrifice underlies the decisions of Kierkegaard andKafka of following their writer’s vocation and abandoningany other dimension of their lifes. Writing as an absolutduty of create oneself and produce a work followingthe indeterminable laws of oneself reveals the similaritybetween literature’s constitution and this postmetaphysicsubjectivity. Literary discourse is also, with his open andambiguous meanings, an ineffable and untold secret towhich it is imposible to renounce.
