Retracing Sequence and Series


From "Cartouches" the 11 December 1977 entry (p. 215) in Derrida's The Truth in Painting translated by Geoff Bennington and Ian McLeod.



Retrace one's steps, always, again, narrative/series [récit/série].


I am grateful to the translators for recording the assonance that marks the play of the terms in French.

Makes me harken back to my own mediation on narration, narrative and sequence: Storing and Storing http://homes.chass.utoronto.ca/~lachance/S6.HTM which after all these years I would like to revisit and suggest the addition of "Shuffling".

And so for day 663
