Synopsis

"Il s'agissait de changer en fichu une poésie". Walter Benjamin dreamed this phrase in French. He wrote the dream in a letter to Gretel Adorno. A written dream, a thought dream, is this not already "a paradox of the possibility of the impossible", as Adorno characterises the thinking of Walter Benjamin? This keyword "paradox of the possibility of the impossible" serves Derrida as a cipher for his thinking. He characterizes it as "a completely different thinking of the relationship between the possible and the impossible". Benjamin, Adorno, dream, poetry and language: around these names and terms, the subtle network of thought of Jacques Derrida weaves on the occasion of his acceptance speech for the award of the Theodor W. Adorno Prize of the City of Frankfurt am Main.
