Derrida argues in defining presence that there is no meaning that exists outside of a text (I'm trying to skirt the signifier/signified issue associated with this). The rest of the phrase quoted argues that this cannot be the case, that there are certain outside factors that influence how the voice/body in singing are perceived by the listening audience.

In other words, there are meanings outside of the "text" (the singing); Derrida's conclusions are wrong.


Hmmm. It is not clear from the snippet that the person thinks Derrida is wrong, only that the writer does not see his conclusions as having entered mainstream thinking and academic theories on voice.


But I do agree it is not clear. It certainly is something that's been rejected, it seems. A longer snippet certainly would have clarified that, at least.

First, you'd need to know about signifiers and the signified to understand Derrida's position - 10/09/2010 05:40:22 AM 425 Views
