In 1998, Jacques Derrida published Monolingualism of the Other, an interesting reflection on issues such as identity, language, citizenship, and colonialism. Derrida confessed his personal history to analyze how exclusions -as the one he faced- “come to leave their mark upon this belonging or non-belonging of language, this affiliation to language, this assignation to what is peacefully called a language”.
Our own thoughts on Derrida’s reflection were the inspiration for this sound experiment. We didn’t attempt to fully interpret Derrida’s ideas by conducting this modest sound exercise, but to explore this idea about language beyond the text.
