ESTRADA, Paulo Cesar Duque. One never renounces oneself to the archive: notes on "Archive fever" of Jacques Derrida. Nat. hum. [online]. 2010, vol.12, n.2, pp. 1-16. ISSN 1517-2430.

This article develops a reading of Jacques Derrida´s book, Archive Fever, with the aim of circumscribing what could be named the Derridian conception of archive. By unfolding the conflictive power which is archived within the proper word "archive", Derrida comes with a conception of archive that, beyond the discussions developed in the book, opens the possibility of a new way of thinking the political.
