Abstract

In my text, I would like to consider the question of femininity and of Judaism after the Shoah, starting with the French philosopher Sarah Kofman (1934-1994), a forgotten figure for whom writing, and in particular «writing of the disaster» (Blanchot), was essential. The essential thing, for her, was writing; what was essential was the word. A smothered word. But a word as memory, as a duty to remember the deaths. First and foremost, the aim is to question this female Jewish thinker who posed philosophical conundrums – even if not exclusively by means of philosophical conceptuality – about Judaism after the Holocaust. What happened to Judaism after this event? How did she see Israel’s role and that of the Jewish people take shape? On the other hand, what happened to philosophy, to its “structures”, and to its “language”? Finally, why did a certain feminine sensitivity push this intellectual towards these questions in particular?
