did you get a chance to take a look at the derrida citation i mentioned, paul? i think you will find that this is not so easy a thing to conclude of derrida or foucault, for instance.

beoming a repetition of that one ostensibly seeks to oppose is not a condition of postmodernism, which at least has the virtue of recognising this possibility when it works from a dialectical understanding, but a condition of those wpolitics which declare themselves to be autonomously consitituted, self-sufficient.
