Być inaczej — być z innymi? Derrida, Nancy i pytanie o wspólnotę

Abstract

The aim of this article is to discuss minorities in a broader context of community. Througha cross-reading of Jacques Derrida and Jean-Luc Nancy, I endeavour to show in whatway ontology or, to be more precise, the ontology of being-with, may bring a new perspectiveon the purely cultural concept of minority. Thus, instead of pondering on whatbeing a minority or being in a minority means today, I rather try to say what if we all weremeant to be with minorities, since being as such is always being with all different others(Nancy) and being with something/someone else which/who is (t)here.
