My paper is an effort to think in resistance to the hegemony of the settler colonial project, of global technicity, and capitalism, of the devastation of life-worlds on earth. In Specters of Marx, Jacques Derrida describes this world as space and time “out
of joint.” For Derrida, this very dislocation intensifies the impossible desire to be present in place. I contrast this impossible desire to an effort to think with place in two modern European thinkers: Luce Irigaray and Friedrich Nietzsche. In Thus Spoke
Zarathustra, Nietzsche’s Zarathustra repeatedly insists on the fundamental teaching: “remain faithful to the earth.” In Marine Lover of Friedrich Nietzsche Irigaray follows Nietzsche in elaborating a thinking and ethics that strives to remain faithful to the
sea. To be faithful to the sea is not to make a possessive claim on the sea but to unfold a practice of desire that strives to listen and to participate in the becoming of the immemorial waters which overflow the marine lover's finitude. This is not thinking
which happens in ‘any place whatever’ but thinking with rhythms of the sea. My paper concludes with a close reading of the speaking of the sea (parler la mčre /mer) from the first part of Marine Lover. This is a speaking charged with rhythms of the sea.</div>
