derrida is a pleb filter.

imagine a big nightclub and he's the bouncer, sitting there on a bench, just staring off into space. when you get to the front he gives you this look. the club is actually free to enter but first you have to pass this test.

if this triggers you, or if you ask what he is looking at, it means you don't get to be invited inside for what in this case is an infinite wake for karl marx (there is a rotation of dead authors to be mourned). if you are not triggered by his readings of specters of marx, he shrugs and the doors open.

as you pass through, he says, you do realize, mon ami, that you are - that we are - both already dead, no?

to which you respond, 'viola.' and then you are free to go in.

>> No.11033854

Derrida was that stupid kid in school who would ask you to define something and then ask you to define one of those words you had to use to define the original.

>> No.11033862

>>11033832
Derrida may be a pleb filter, but he isn't the first pleb filter. That's good ole' Plato or good ole' Nietzsche, depending on the person.

>>11033862
quite true. any number of philosophers can under the circumstances be the guy at the front door.

as you say, it depends on the person. i tend to pick on derrida because he developed such a classic Derrida Look and i do think he would be good at filtering out people who might be inclined to misbehave in the nightclub. but anyone could do it.

roland barthes would do just as well. it's like that scene in the movies where some CIA agent or whatever has to infiltrate the secret conspiracy of the bad guys, but first they have to meet with some agent to shit-test them so that they can see whether or not this will all be a waste of time. when derrida's sick barthes can fill in for this role.

Do you deconstruct? Do you understand what deconstruction is and practice it? Every second philosophy department also has lectures on Derrida, it doesn't make it Derridean.

Heidegger (among others; Nietzsche, Saussure, etc.) opened the possibility of the question of the sign but it is Derrida who followed this line of inquiry himself to its fullest extent i.e. affecting the construction of the inquiry as a written work.
