Safaa Fathy (1958) es una poeta, cineasta, dramaturga, ensayista y filósofa egipcia. Es conocida por sus obras sobre Jacques Derrida, entre las que se cuentan su largometraje D'ailleurs Derrida —«Derrida, por cierto» o «La otra parte de Derrida»—[1][2] un documental que relata su biografía y explica sus conceptos. Como artista, en sus trabajos refiere extensamente la muerte; sobre esto afirma: «La muerte es siempre un tema principal en mi obra. Me enfrenté con la muerte desde muy pequeña, y escribiendo poesía es como resistimos a la muerte. Con mis textos le digo al mundo, a la existencia: "Yo sigo aquí"».[1] Otro tema relevante en su producción es la extranjería.[3]Actualmente trabaja como directora de programa en el Colegio Internacional de Filosofía de París.[4] Fathy formó parte de un programa de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para alentar a las mujeres a desarrollar la filosofía, que no prosperó por falta de apoyo económico.[1]
