This has to be the most baffling sentence, (yes, one sentence), that I've ever read. I can't wrap my mind around what she's trying to say. I have a feeling knowing what "Derridian" referred to wouldn't help either. This just seems like incoherent rambling with really large words.
Anyway, it's from an academic article one of my school friends is reading for a 'bibliography and research technique' class. She sent it to me as an example of an 'average sentence' ...
This article is about italian comic opera and cross dressing by the way. Oh, the person who teaches the class is the one who wrote this article. That's gotta be awful.
"Despite the best efforts of the Derridian critique of presence, the theoretical congruence of voice and body persists in everyday assumptions and critical models of the voice: the mechanics of vocal production and reception cross with modern models of subjectivity as the voice emerges from and disappears into an invisible interior."
So anyway, is this normal for graduate level scholarly articles, or is this person just ... a pompous poofter or something?
I mean I can see science articles getting kind of wordy, but we're talking about music here.

First, you'd need to know about signifiers and the signified to understand Derrida's position

I had to be familiar with Derrida, Foucault, Barthes, and Lacan in grad school

Also, the few science articles I've read were very comprehensible, albeit with difficult terminology *NM*
