Description
Summary:This article uses some of the illustrations offered by Simondon in his never-sent letter to Derrida to analyse the programme of techno-aesthetics. This analysis includes not only what is meant by techno-aesthetic sensibility, but also the delayed trajectory of this correspondence in the light of Derrida's theory of performativity, of which the postal device emerges as a privileged figure. Finally, both approaches are intertwined in order to reflect on possible contributions and problematizations of performance studies today.
