Description
Summary:[Charles H. Long, in Significations, expresses an alignment between his work and that of Jacques Derrida, arguing that his "crawling back" is deconstructive in its method. In addition, Long argues that his work represents a form of thought that is the ellipsis. In this essay, I explore elliptical thinking on religion in relation to Derrida's deconstruction, focusing on Long as a historian of religions, the place that discipline made, for him, a path to include Black people in critical thought as something other than a "social problem," and how the ellipsis, in its shape and function helps us to understand Long's insistence on our crawling back through history. Charles H. Long, en Significations (Significaciones), expresa una alineación entre su obra y la de Jacques Derrida, donde Long argumenta que su "retroceso" es deconstructivo en su método. Además, Long sostiene que su trabajo representa una forma de pensamiento que es la elipsis. En este ensayo, exploro el pensamiento elíptico sobre la religión en relación con la deconstrucción de Derrida, centrándome en Long como historiador de la religión, el lugar que la disciplina creó, para él, un camino para incluir a los negros en el pensamiento crítico como algo más allá de un "problema social," y cómo la elipsis, en su forma y función, nos ayuda a comprender la insistencia de Long en que retrocedamos a través de la historia.]
