Ground Zero of Meaning.

- Abstract
This essay aims to dialecticise the hermeneutics of revelation and thus engage it with critical theory by elaborating on the rift of negativity that revelation introduces into an economy of meaning, engendering the subject of history beyond (mytho-)logical enclosure. Drawing on psychoanalytic linguistics and Jewish philosophy of religion, a materialist notion of the language event of revelation is developed that allows for thinking its anti-hermeneutic kernel without recourse to the pre-linguistic. Psychoanalysis and a critique of hermeneutical labor from the perspective of a Kierkegaardian theology of sin and grace help in developing a commemorative counter-hermeneutics of justice. This is finally more directly linked with Christian revelation by including René Girard's Christological critique of sacrifice and Marika Rose's ecclesiology of failure.
