讲座内容简介：

I only have one language, and it is not mine.  

You speak the impossible. Your speech does not hold water.    

– Jacques Derrida, Monolingualism of the Other, Or, the Prosthesis of Origin (1996)  

What is, or has become of, that “one language” today—in the age of radical linguistic diversity and conformity? This lecture (re)engages Derrida on the issue of constitutively twisted logos by exploring a philopoethical way of negotiating its powers & limits.
