La pudeur et la demeure : architecture and the animal
josé vela castillo

Of course the question of architecture is, also, the question of the animal. And of course, it needs some explanation. Or, more precisely, demands it.
Maybe I'm not sure I could offer this explanation in full, but I hope this paper will unfold some different traces and reveal some disguised tracks of what this partially neglected relationship between architecture and animality could offer to rethink (what Derrida calls) l'animal que donc je suis. And in so doing, extend the whole problem to a much broader (political) context in which technology, animality and virtual reality will transform the whole (build) environment into a world peopled mainly by ghosts.
La pudeur et la demeure, then.
On one hand a short citation from Levinas will surprise us when we realize that the word demeure relates not only to residence, inhabitance but to cavern, grute and the nest or den of (what the man calls) animals, and also to a certain delay or retard, to a certain awaiting and awareness of what will come (l'avenir).
On the other, la pudeur, the pudicity or pudency, the decorousness that Derrida feels when a cat stares at him in the bathroom, being naked (and naked itself), sets in motion another intriguing and related set of envois. For instance the myth narrated by Plato in the Protagoras, the known story of the disastrous error committed by Epimeteus, but not only in relation with his fatal oblivion and the necessity of the techne that could supplement what the man have not, but also with the necessary two pre-conditions that the man will need to live in common (and build a city) : aidos and dyké, pudency (or honesty) and justice.
Now, is it not the question of la demeure, the question of techne (the question of the dressing and the question of building, but also the Heideggerian question) and the question of la pudeur (the question of the beginning of the polis) the questions of architecture?
