| Research Abstract |
The meaning of 'other' and 'responsibility' in Derrida's art thought, which is suggested in the word 'rendre', is as followed.
First, responsibility means the responsibility for arch-writing as trace and debt for the invisible non-representaive to our ability to see. So a painter must show the debt by his groping pointed pen as a blind man. But he can't represent the non-representative. He can only slash an abyss by 'mise en abyme' as a part includes the whole. An artist ascends the generation to the pre-generation by such an act. That means crossing the border and becoming foreigner. At this time the otherness comes along.
The ethical meaning of other and responsibility is that the act which the artist ascends the generation to the pre-generation makes us see the prehistory of the law and the excessive of the law. It is a practice to seek pre-original trust which precedes social contracts or social rights. As such an practice relates the non-representaive, it cannot be a theory but like a testimony. So we can say that Derrida's art thought relates the political and ethical practice how we go on testifying in today's political constellation.
