In 1978, Foucault noted his paradoxical “distance” from the typical French experience with the Algerian War, to which he was exposed while teaching in Tunisia. See Foucault, “Interview with Michel Foucault,” Power, 258, 278–9. 30. The same could be said for Jacques Derrida, though according to a much different modality. See “No Apocalypse, Not Now (Full Speed Ahead, Seven Missiles, Seven Missives),” trans. Catherine Porter and Phillip Lewis, diacritics 14, no. 2 (1984): 28, 30. It also could be said of the poet Wendell Berry, whose 1968 poem “A Discipline”—a meditation on nuclear warfare—concludes with the following lines: “it is the time's discipline to think/of the death of all living, and yet live.” Wendell Berry, “A Discipline,” in The Selected Poems of Wendell Berry (Berkeley, CA: Counterpoint, 1998), 77. 31.
