Sažetak
In Specters of Marx Derrida proposes that the opening of The Communist Manifesto labors also as a dramaturgy of modern Europe, in that the specter of communism haunting Europe stages by the same stroke a unification of Europe. This however implies that the dramaturgy of European unification (of an identification of Europe, if not its identity) is organized from the very position in Marx that Derrida discusses as the promise of philosophy. What is more, this relation takes place precisely as the theatrical: not only where this séancing of Europe implies a dramaturgy, but also where Hamlet, as the tragedy organized around such staged hauntings, emerges in Derrida as a scene of instruction when it comes to analyzing philosophy and the political. My presentation will address this particular relation in Derrida alongside Jean-Pierre Vernant's study of tragedy on the one hand and Friedrich Nietzsche's The Birth of Tragedy on the other. Nietzsche and Vernant, that is, seem to be preassembling this position for Derrida, specifically where it implies a conjunction of promise, politics and philosophy – and where it invokes a taking place of Europe.
