Jacques Derrida, R.I.P.

10 o'clock, October 12, 2004

I’m with Fafblog on this one:

“I don't get it,” says me. “How could Derrida die? He was a social construct."

“True,” says Giblets. “Nothin is outside the text, includin Derrida.”

“Then he couldn't die,” says me. “After all if he did he would be reinforcin the hegemonic Dead Derrida/Live Derrida binary.”

“We must deconstruct Derrida’s death!” says Giblets. “Beginning by inverting the priveleged duality! Derrida is alive!”

“He’s stuffin his face with cake right now over there!” says me.

“Mmmfff,” says Derrida. “Waffff uppppf fellaf.”

“Derrida stop eatin all our cake!” says Giblets. “That cost good money!” Man that Derrida’s always been a greedy bastard.

Oh man, that's hilarious. Thanks for posting that, Dave.

I was very sad to hear that Derrida had died over the weekend. Along with Chris Reeve. Two profound men, now gone from us.

You have not read nor understood a single word Derrida has written.

I'm tempted to differ, but I think I'll defer that.
