Summary/Abstract: “Circonfession” is the howling of a man trying not to drown into madness. It is the expression of a desire of fusion with a dying mother. Circumcision is a transmission. But Jacques Derrida’s transmission belongs to a social project, no longer materialized through a trace in the body of his sons, or through a transgenerational transmission from father to son, but through the transmission of works.
