... is the différance of the drives, just as the future is the différance of becoming, just as the aes- thetics of the exclamatory soul is the différance of the sensory apprehen- sion of the animal soul. The significance of this reference to différance lies, before anything else, in...

.... In other words, since for Stiegler it is precisely in the movement of external- ization that memory is generated, prosthetic recording of memory, through différance, embraces the tension between hypomnesic knowledge and anamnesic knowledge without resolving that tension. Human...

... that appeared in Théorie d’ensemble, the 1968 collec- tive manifesto of the then new French social theory. There he explained his very squirrelly concept différance, with the following remarkable statement: ‘‘Or si la différance est (je mets aussi le ‘est’ sous rature) ce qui rend pos- sible la...

... moment in the turn to the contemporary, the inception of différance as distance and delay. Fountain becomes désoeuvré not when it appears (as a sculpture) in New York in 1917 but when Duchamp appropriates it as a chronicle of the “imperceptible,” as the gap between an object and its nar- rated...

... unrepresentability, the unsayability of being itself.3 In a way that uncannily anticipates the Der- ridean analysis of the non-concept différance, the act of naming/picturing/ monumentalizing/mapping is simply the substitution or supplementation of a sign for that which would be brought to presence.4 The process...

... ground. This is, of course, only a reframing of, not a full solution to, the di- lemma of selectivity. Presence, as we have been taught, disguises a multi- tude of signifiers hungrily jostling to be first, to be now, to force others into delay, deference, différance. Something will be delayed or...
