Abstract

The article presents locality in the light of Bernard Stiegler’s philosophy, placing particular emphasis on the non-spatial (non-territorial) dimension of locality, as well as on its relationship to temporality, idiomaticity, sense-making, and knowledge production. Such locality is thus more about what gives or produces place than what protects it. The concept of locality described in the article is a counterweight to discourses presenting locality as a cure for globalization and its dangers, in which locality appears as a constitutive, sustainable, harmonious, and originating place, prior to the technological exploitation of nature. Key-words: différance, gram, grammatology, Jacques Derrida, anticipation, temporality
