ABSTRACT
This essay-like research deals with the discursive reverberations (of greater philosophical expression) of the concept figure khôra, pointing to pedagogical-performative injunctions and their ethical and political variables. Based on the elaborations of Plato, Jacques Derrida and Giorgio Agamben, the text investigates the notion of place (and non-place) condensed in khôra, in view of the subjects’s fluctuating position - of the places he occupies, engenders and with which he identifies - in the constitution of a common place - a space in which the personal and the impersonal could coexist. Contrary to an interpretation that conceives performative pedagogy as a poetics and establisher of an interplace, this text signals to the condition of impotency and indeterminacy intrinsic to this performative pedagogy, demonstrating its un-creative, open and contingent character.
