The polite question:
It is possible that a typing error also occurs
in the statement?“The possibility of dialogue is inscribed in the
very gesture of theorizing is a gesture of demarcations.”I asked a friend living in the US for the
“is … is”-construction, he said: the first
“is” stands probably for “as”.
The delighted reply:
Very much possible.
It is the second “is” that I would revise as an “as”.
The possibility of dialogue is inscribed in the
very gesture of theorizing as a gesture of demarcations.However, I would probably, given the chance, rewrite as two sentences:
The possibility of dialogue is inscribed in the
very gesture of theorizing. Theorizing is a gesture of demarcations.Ironic that a paragraph dealing with the question of demarcations and
hinting at the operations of the unconscious has a sentence that is not
parsable according to correct grammar. : )You are not only learning you are teaching!
One letter and a verb is turned into a conjunction.
And so for day 2645
