| Paul de Man
Curiously enough, it seems to be only in describing a mode of language which does not mean what it says that one can actually say what one means. Death is a displaced name for a linguistic predicament. Fashion is like the ashes left behind by the uniquely shaped flames of the fire, the trace alone revealing that a fire actually took place. The ambivalence of writing is such that it can be considered both an act and an interpretive process that follows after an act with which it cannot coincide. As such, it both affirms and denies its own nature. |
