The Fragmentum-section has had additional philosophical dribble jammed down its throat! The aleph housekeepers have recently been looking at late Derrida and found a couple of cutesy quotes to share with the world:
“La substitution n’est pas simplement le remplacement d’un unique remplaçable : la substitution remplace l’irremplaçable. Qu’il y ait tout de suite, dès le premier matin du dire ou le premier surgissement de l’Ă©vĂ©nement, itĂ©rabilitĂ© et retour dans l’unicitĂ© absolue, dans la singularitĂ© absolue, cela fait que la venue de l’arrivant – ou la venue de l’Ă©vĂ©nement inaugural – ne peut ĂŞtre accuillie que comme retour, revenance, revenance spectracle.”
This one is from a mainly improvised lecture given at le Centre Canadien d’Architecture on the first of april 1997.
“L’hĂ©gĂ©monie organise toujours la rĂ©pression et donc la confirmation d’une hantise. La hantise appartient Ă la structure de toute hĂ©gĂ©monie.”
And this well phrased banality is from Spectres de Marx which is largely based on lectures given on the 22nd and the 23rd of april 1993. As always titles and pages are served with the quotes in Fragmentum.
At the moment we are without comment or justification for their presence in the Fragmentum Hall of Fame, but we hope to use them in some theoretical waffle later on. In the mean time: Enjoy!
