[lbo-talk] Butler on Derrida

[Jeffrey Fisher]

the negative theology-related stuff is outstanding (of course, that is
*exactly* what i do), but apparently politically incorrect, because it
involves difficulty, i suppose, and what we're about as good
dialectical materialists is reducing all of life to the simple (so it
can be understood and used by "the people", who are, i guess, simple
-- except when they're reading kapital). i'm just guessing, there,
since i don't pretend to psychoanalyze all this derrida-hating the way
derrida-haters presume to psychoanalyze derrida and
deconstructionists. gag, gag, gag, indeed. oh my god! someone likes
being famous! that bastard!

and wrt michael's comment, what more does judith butler need to say
(in a god-damn memorial piece, for chrissakes) than that she likes
derrida and owes him a debt, as do we all? i suppose she should have
properly deconstructed death, or something (actually, she nearly does
this, but then that will only make her that much more reprehensible).
