En el origen fue la prótesis La deconstrucción como crítica al nacionalismo

This paper addresses three contributions of Jacques Derrida's deconstruction to the critique of nationalism in different moments of his work: a) the deconstruction of the myth of origins as an ideal of purity that he exposes with the logic of the supplement; b) the critique of the notion of a national language, as the language of a “we” from a community of spirit and c) the deconstruction of a nationalism that is both cosmopolitan and humanist, even in philosophies critical of humanism and contrary to any racial or natural determination.
