A problem I had when I read Of Grammatology several years ago was precisely that of Speech being nearly-congruous with Thought. It seems to me that this is simplistic and that Thought is but the first level of the codification of stimuli/responses and that is where the issue of Presence might need to be grounded. Just not convinced that Speech is any closer than Writing to Thought.


You are aware that Derrida is not arguing that it is? Quite the contrary. That is his whole point.

But that's a topic for another time, perhaps after I re-read a few texts to make sure I'm not misremembering or misunderstanding anything after five years' interval :P


But the way you put it, combined with my distant recollections, made me wonder if he was signaling out Speech as being somehow "closer" despite it being the first stage of Writing. A re-read will be the near future, I'm sure.

Someone explain this academic article snippet to me? The_Muted_Grimaud - 10/09/2010 01:28:05 AM 492 Views
First, you'd need to know about signifiers and the signified to understand Derrida's position Larry - 10/09/2010 05:40:22 AM 403 Views
Actually that helps a bundle. The_Muted_Grimaud - 10/09/2010 06:05:52 AM 421 Views
I had to be familiar with Derrida, Foucault, Barthes, and Lacan in grad school Larry - 10/09/2010 06:12:22 AM 357 Views

In literary criticism that is distressingly common. Ghavrel - 10/09/2010 07:16:40 AM 379 Views
Also, the few science articles I've read were very comprehensible, albeit with difficult terminology *NM* Ghavrel - 10/09/2010 07:18:52 AM 143 Views
