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
