Monsters cannot be announced. One cannot say: 'Here are our monsters,' without immediately turning the monsters into pets.
Jacques DerridaThe first problem of the media is posed by what does not get translated, or even published in the dominant political languages.
Jacques DerridaI say things that contradict each other, that are in real tension with each other, that compose me, that make me live, and that will make me die.
Jacques DerridaThe trace I leave to me means at once my death, to come or already come, and the hope that it will survive me. It is not an ambition of immortality; it is fundamental. I leave here a bit of paper, I leave, I die; it is impossible to exit this structure; it is the unchanging form of my life. Every time I let something go, I live my death in writing.
