the ancient myth of “Echo and Narcissus” is inexhaustible, and critical
philosophers of the last two centuries have explored some of its most fruitful
implications. Perhaps the most famous of these voices is Jacques Derrida, whose
early essay, Voice and Phenomenon, can be read as an extended meditation on the
myth itself. However, Derrida is not the first philosopher to see a problem in
the fact that, to myself, I am hearable from the place that I speak, visible
from the place that I see, and touchable from the place that I touch. There is
an echo of Derrida in Merleau-Ponty, who also perceptively explores the delay,
hiatus, or spacing between these different vantage-points on necessarily
connected experiences. Echo and Narcissus reveal that, perversely, I myself can
never inhabit the double of my speaking and being heard, or my seeing and being
seen, at one and the same moment, even though all the promise and risk of
meaning and desire emerges from this incapacity to be absolutely present to
myself. My talk explores the critical philosophical implications of the ancient
Echo and Narcissus problem in its contemporary rethinking by Merleau-Ponty,
whose work is animated by the reversibility of visibility and seeing, and
tangibility and touching, no less than the dangerous capacity of his speech to
be transformed by its own overhearing. I am particularly interested, however,
in the way that these reversibilities always come to be broken and shattered,
so that philosophy takes and loses new shape in the breakdown of such
reversibility.</span></p>
