Teleopoiesis, “reaching toward the distant other by the patient power of the imagination, a curious kind of identity politics, where one crosses identity, as a result of migration or exile,” is described in Gayatri Spivak’s “Harlem”.

In Politics of Friendship, Derrida actually coined the term, **teleopoiesis**, to explain his own concept of “messianicity without messianism,” “friendship without fraternization” or “time out of joint.”3 The centrifugal and centripetal forces of teleopoiesis indicate the distanciation and proximity in the truth of being which is poietically utilized in order to deconstruct the metaphysical metanarrative on subjectivity. Even though deconstruction does not provide an alternative view of subjectivity, it does not annihilate subjectivity without traces. Poiesis is the way of exploring the traces within the deconstructive performativity. Poiesis means “to make,” “to bring forth,” or “to create or form.” It is not only to make things that we can perceive, but is also the anticipatory reaction to what we perceive. The notion of possibility alludes to an anticipatory poiesis that may lead us to experience the impossible.

In other words, poiesis is the deconstructive way of accessing the aporetic realm of possibility-to-be. John Caputo suggested that a poetics of possibility is “the weak force of the call” or the promise to come, while a logos regulates “the strong force of the world.”4 Ironically, however, the poiesis of deconstruction will shake the foundation of logos without reassembling its remainders.
