Introduction: The Voice of Someone
1. John Sturrock (ed.), Structuralism and Since: From Levi-Strauss to Derrida (Oxford UP, 1979) p. 3.
2. Henri Lefebvre, Position: Contre les Technocrates (Paris: Gonthier, 1967) pp. 88-9. Lefebvre is less well known outside France than he deserves to be. He was a provocative and original thinker and a very important figure in Parisian intellectual life in the 1950s and 1960s. He also did more than anyone else to prepare the ground for the French students' 'revolution' in 1968 and for the rise of the New Left.

1 Lacan and the Alienation of Language
The vel of alienation 1. These quotations are from: Stuart Schneiderman, Jacques Lacan: the
death of an intellectual hero (Cambridge, Mass: Harvard UP, 1983); Anika Lemaire, Jacques Lacan (London: Routledge & Kegan Paul, 1977); Catherine Clement, Vies et Ugendes de Jacques Lacan (Paris: Grasset 1981) p. 63-4; and Sherry Turkle, Psychoanalytic Politics (London, 1979) p. 53, 54. Jane Gallop has gone even further, stating that: 'After years

of study, I have come to believe Lacan's texts impossible to understand fully, impossible to master- and that is a particularly good illustration of everyone's inevitable "castration" in language'. See Jane Gallop, Reading Lacan (New York. Cornell UP, 1985) p. 20.
2. Catherine Clement, Vies et Ugendes, p. 64. 3. Lacan frequently indicates his differences from Hegel, his supposed
mentor. In 'Fonction et champ de Ia parole et du language' (Ec. I), for instance, he argues contra Hegel that the dialectic only authentically touches the subject if it decentres him from his self-consciousness. He denies that the end of history can be absolute knowledge (Sem. II, 91) and rejects any reference to unity or totality either within the individual or within society on the grounds that 'the subject introduces division' (Ec. I, 173-4). When his son-in-law, Jean-Alain Miller, accuses him of shamming and asks 'ought we not to understand - Lacan against Hegel?' Lacan agrees, preferring this reading to those who call him the 'son of Hegel'- whereupon another seminar member is heard to mutter: 'Sons kill their fathers' (Sem XI, 195). For some 'fertile parallels' between Lacan and Hegel, as well as some further differences, see Edwin S. Casey and J. Melvin Woody, 'Hegel, Heidegger Lacan: The Dialectic of Desire' and Wilfred ver Eecke, 'Hegel as Lacan's Source for Necessity in Psychoanalytic Theory' in Joseph H. Smith and William Kerrigan (eds), Interpreting Lacan (New Haven: Yale UP, 1983). For Lacan's debt to Kojeve's reading of Hegel, see Mark Poster, Existential Marxism in Post-War France: From Sartre to Althusser (New Jersey: Princeton UP, 1975). For Lacan's relation to the ideas of Freud, Levi-Strauss, Norman 0. Brown, Sartre, Husserl, Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, Saussure, Derrida, Laing and Jakobson, see Anthony Wilden's very useful essay, 'Lacan and the Discourse of the Other' and his notes to Jacques Lacan, The Language of the Self: The Function of Language in Psychoanalysis, translated and with notes and commentary by Anthony Wilden (New York: Delta Books, 1968).
4. For a free exploration and elaboration of the machine paradigm, see Martin Stanton, Outside the Dream: Lacan and French Styles of Psychoanalysis (London: Routledge & Kegan Paul, 1983).
5. 'I is a verbal form, the use of which is learned in a certain reference to the other, and this reference is a spoken reference. The I is born in reference to the you' (SemI, 188). Lacan denies the existence of any Buberian I-Thou relationship and, in opposition to Husserl and Heidegger, denies the presence of empathy. To him, all the 'registers of being' are in language, and there is nothing behind or beyond this.
6. To Lacan, sexuality itself represents the death of the individual - he returns to this almost obsessively. In reproducing oneself sexually, one loses one's individuality, and this loss is a lack which returns to haunt man. This too might be contrasted with Hegel's (much healthier) view of sexual reproduction as an Aufhebung of mother and father.
7. Lacan sums up these different aspects of language in his interpretation of Freud's 'Fort-Da' anecdote about his grandson. For him, these two phonemes 'incarnate the mechanisms of alienation' (Sem XI, 216).
8. See also Sem. II, 92, where Lacan says: 'the reality of each man is in
268 Notes and References
the being of the other. In the last analysis, there is reciprocal alienation ... and I must insist it is irreducible, insoluble ... this reciprocal alienation will remain to the end'.
The beyond in this life 9. Speaking of the 'hole' at the heart of man, Lacan points out that it
can be called being or nothing - depending on how one envisages it, and that this is essentially a matter of language (Sem I, 297).
10. For the use of this Zero in and outside Lacan, see Anthony Wilden, System and Structure: Essays in Communication and Exchange (London: Tavistock, 1972).
11. From Freud, The Interpretation of Dreams, translated by James Strachey (London: George Allen & Unwin Ltd, 1967) p. 107. Freud's observation that he has not exhausted the meaning of the dream gives Lacan his opening to read into the image of Irma's gullet and into the term trimethylamin something more and other than Freud reads into it, and he uses it to give the dream a structure which Freud, with his line by line associative analysis, does not attempt to give it. Lacan's transformations of this dream are already an example of the way he speaks 'through' texts (see next section). For Lacan's interpretation of the dream in relation to Erik Erikson's classical reinterpretation, of the same dream, see William J. Richardson, 'Lacan and the Subject of Psychoanalysis' in Smith and Kerrigan (eds), Interpreting Lacan (New Haven: Yale UP, 1983).
12. This and the following part of the dream constitute for Lacan a genuine parole because he argues that what characterises parole, wherever it is found, is the ability to make itself heard ludically in all other languages, while being absolutely particular to the subject because it grasps his desire (Ec. I, 175). For Lacan's own ludic expression of his subjectivity, see next section.
Repetition and innovation 13. Modern critics, who have made a great deal of Lacan's definitions of
metaphor and metonymy, have generally seen them as principles applicable to literary language and to literary texts per se. An exception is Jean-Baptiste Fages, Comprendre jacques Lacan (Paris: Pensee/Privat, 1971). Fages uses Lacanian principles of rhetoric to bring out aspects of Lacan's play with language which are not discussed below. Lacan insists that 'it is a fundamental law of sane criticism to apply to a work the same principles which it itself gives for its construction' (Sem. II, 141). Besides making it surprising that Lacan has not been applied to himself more frequently, this actually raises the question about the validity of applying linguistic or other theories across the board to texts.
14. Lacan also pointed out in Ornicar? Gan. 1977) that 'the unconscious is not Freud's; it is Lacan's'. For a trenchantly witty critique of Lacan's manner of training students in the art of listening to Lacan and for a description of its dangers and shortcomings, see Fran<;ois George, L'Effet 'Yau de Poele' de Lacan et des Lacaniens (Paris: Hachette, 1979).
Notes and References 269
15. See, for instance, David Lodge's novel, Small World. 16. Lacan points out that there is a parallel between 'The Purloined Letter'
and Oedipus Rex: 'Oedipus's unconscious is that fundamental discourse which means that for a long time, since forever, Oedipus's history has been there, written, that we know it, and that Oedipus is completely unaware of it, even though it is played out in him from the beginning' (Sem. II, 245).
The intellectual and the other 17. The Language of the Self, p. 299. 18. Jean Fourastit\ Faillite de l'Universite? (Paris: Gallimard, 1972) p. 13. 19. Lacan points out that since human life consists of assuming roles like
that of king or psychoanalyst, and since these roles have nothing to do with any individual's real ability, examinations must be seen as purely initiatory exercises (Sem. II, 304ff).
20. This is what, throughout his writings, Lacan attacks Anna Freud and American ego psychology for doing. For an ethical reading of Lacan, see John Rajchman, 'La can and the Ethics of Modernity', Representations 15 (Summer 1986) pp. 42-56.
21. See Charles Posner (ed.), Reflections on the Revolution in France: 1968 (Harmondsworth: Penguin, 1970) p. 19; and Patrick Seale and Maureen McConville, French Revolution: 1968 (London: Heinemann, 1968) pp. 215--6. Seale points out that: 'A tiny revolutionary avant-garde detonated a large-scale, spontaneous movement of student protest. This mass, generating its own dynamic, could only be loosely manipulated by the revolutionary core' (p. 20). The revolutionary core were students too.

2 Barthes and the Pleasures of Alienation
1. The combination of consistency and change in Barthes' work was noted quite early on. See, for instance, Guy de Mallac and Margaret Eberbach, Barthes (Paris: Eds universitaires, 1971); Louis-Jean Calvet, Roland Barthes: Un Regard Politique sur le Signe (Paris: Payot, 1973); Stephen Heath, Le Vertige du Deplacement (Paris: Artheme Fayard, 1974) and Philip Thody, Roland Barthes: A Conservative Estimate (London: Macmillan, 1977).
270 Notes and References
The duplicities of critical play 2. That there are three actors is clear from v. 28 where we are told that
Jacob was renamed Israel because he had 'power with God and with men' and from v. 24 where we are told that Jacob wrestled 'with a man' till break of day. The word angel, with its ambiguous connotations does not occur anywhere in the text. If one wished to be literalminded, one would also have to point out that God is only mentioned in relation to Jacob. Barthes' article has been translated and anthologised by Stephen Heath in Image-Text-Music (London: Fontana, 1977) and I am using his translation.
3. For Barthes' problematical relationship to structuralism, see Sturrock's essay on Barthes in John Sturrock (ed.) Structuralism and Since (Oxford UP, 1979); Annette Lavers, Roland Barthes: Structuralism and After (London: Methuen, 1982); Jonathan Culler, Barthes (London: Fontana, 1983); and Howard Felperin, B~ond Deconstruction: The Uses and Abuses of Literary Theory (Oxford: Clarendon P, 1985) esp. pp. 97-103.
4. In Qu'est ce que la litteature?, Sarte presents this ideal situation where the reader is potentially a writer as characteristic of the seventeenth century. For Walter Benjamin, it appears at the end of history. This ideal situation of writers and readers has also been attributed to writers and readers of eighteenth-century periodicals in Jon P. Klancher, The Making of English Reading Audiences 1790-1832 (U of Wisconsin P, 1987). It seems to me that care needs to be taken not to allow this ideal to tum into a new myth of historical studies.
5. This is very much Lukacs' position too. See Eve Tavor, 'Art and Alienation: Lukacs' Late Aesthetic', Orbis Litterarum 37 (1982) pp. 109-21.
6. Jacques-Alain Miller, Lacan's son-in-law who studied with Barthes, describes him as 'amoral and democratic' - Colloque de Cerisy, Pretexte: Roland Barthes (Paris: Union Generale D'Editions, 1978) p. 205; and Philippe Sollers too calls Barthes' politics 'inflexibly and naturally democratic'- Tel Quel No. 47 (Autumn 1971) p. 20.
'The intellectual writer that I am' 7. Robbe-Grillet complained of Barthes' reviews of his novels Les Gommes
and Le Voyeur: 'I had the impression that Barthes had said nothing about me, but on the contrary that he was beginning to talk to himself ... and that the novelist Barthes was already beginning to develop in his texts.' In Pretexte: Roland Barthes, p. 258.
8. For Barthes' relationship to the avant-garde in France, see Charles Russell, Poets, Prophets and Revolutionaries: The Literary Avant-Garde from Rimbaud through Post-Modernism (Oxford UP, 1985). For the close relationship between writers and the university in France and for the 'intellectual novel' see Victor Brombert's classic The Intellectual Hero: Studies in the French Novel1880-1955 (London: Faber & Faber, 1960).
9. Barthes' notion of seriality should not only be seen in connection with the linguistic concept, but also as an answer to Sartre's notion of seriality in Critque de la Raison Dialectique. For Sartre, seriality was the field of alienation in culture (as opposed to the organic group). See

Mythologies of otherness 10. There are shades of Verlaine and Rimbaud here, both of whom
associated homosexuality with crossing the boundary and escaping established limits. See Jerrold Seigel, Bohemian Paris: Culture, Politics and the Boundaries of Bourgeois Life 1830-1930 (New York: Viking, 1986) pp. 252ff.
11. This notion of contradiction is Maoist. For Mao 'there is nothing that does not contain contradiction', 'both aspects co-exist in an entity' and 'each of the two contradictory aspects, according to given conditions, tend to transform itself each into the other'. Mao TseTung, On Contradiction (Peking: Foreign Language Press, 1953) pp. 11, 49. See also Philippe Sollers, 'Sur Ia Contradiction', Tel Quel, No. 45 (Spring 1971) pp. 3-22.

see Althusser's essay 'Freud and Lacan', especially the concluding questions, in Lenin and Philosophy and other esSilys, tr. Ben Brewster (London: New Left Books,. 1971) p. 200. Althusser was Foucault's teacher at the ENS and also the person who encouraged Lacan to teach there. This article was written in defence of Lacanian Psychoanalysis in 1964 and 'corrected' in 1969, well after the publication of HF in 1961. It shows the natural continuity in Althusser's Marxist perspective between Lacanian psychoanalysis with its emphasis on what Althusser calls 'the law of culture ... the dialectic of human order, of the human norm ... in the form of the order of the signifier itself' and the sort of soda-historical questions about the basis of the psychoanalytical order itself which Foucault went on to ask.

communication of knowledge] functions as a double repression: in terms of those it excludes from the process and in terms of the model and standard (the bars) it imposes on those receiving this knowledge'. 'Knowledge implies a certain political conformity in its presentation'. 'It is of the utmost importance that [in May] thousands of people exercised a power which did not assume the form of a hierarchical organization' (LCP, 219, 232- originally from an interview in Actuel in Nov. 1971). 'Intellectuals are themselves agents of the struggle of power'. 'This is a struggle against power, a struggle aimed at revealing and undermining power where it is most invisible and most insidious'. 'In the fight against power, all those on whom power is exercised to their detriment, all those who find it intolerable can begin the struggle on their own terrain for their own interests, and with methods only they can determine' (LCP, pp. 2CY1, 208, 216, an interview with Gilles Deleuze of March 1972).

159, 161. The interview was originally given in 1972. The name Groupe d' Information sur les Prisons and Foucault's position on non-intervention from outside link him and the group to a spontaneist section of the New Left called Information Correspondence Ouvriere (IeO) which had split off from the Socialisme au Barbarie group. reo believed that 'the emancipation of workers must come from the workers themselves' without 'outside' or Party interference, that workers' major problems were due to the fundamental divisions between directors and operatives; that the battle must be fought against hierarchies, authority and the exploitative system; and that militant intellectuals could contribute to the struggle only by helping to disseminate 'information' about what was going on. For the reo, see Richard Gombin, The Origins of Modern Leftism (Harmondsworth: Penguin, 1971).
50. Foucault explains the relation of SP to the methodology of HF thus: 'To understand better who is punished and why one punishes, I asked the question: how does one punish? In doing this, I was not doing anything but follow the path I borrowed for madness; rather than ask in a given period what is considered madness and what is considered non-madness, what is mental illness and what normal behaviour, I asked how the division between them was operated. This seems to me to provide, I don't say all possible illumination, but quite a fruitful form of intelligibility'.

4 Derrida and the Wholly Other
1. For other readings of Derrida's relation to Judaism, see Geoffrey Hartman, Saving the Text: Literature/Derrida/Philosophy (Baltimore: Johns Hopkins UP, 1981); Harold Bloom, Kabbalah and Criticism (New York: Continuum, 1975); Allan Megill, Prophets of Extremity: Nietzsche, Heidegger, Foucault, Derrida (Berkeley: U of California P, 1985); JeanFrancois Lyotard, 'Jewish Oedipus', Genre 10 (1977), 395-411; Susan Handelman, 'Jacques Derrida and the Heretic Hermeneutic' in Mark Krupnick (ed.), Displacement and After (Bloomington: Indiana UP, 1983).
2. Before Levinas and Derrida, this necessity was perceived by a whole series of Jewish thinkers, of whom Buber and Maimonedes are probably the most familiar. Christian thinkers found themselves in the same situation. For Derrida's assessment of the relation between theology, mysticism and philosophy, see his D'un Ton Apocalyptique adopte naguere en philosophie (1983).
3. Leo Baeck, Man and God in Judaism (London: Valentine, Mitchell and Co, 1958) pp. 19-20. See also Derrida's discussion of gala (revelation) and the 'unreceivable' in Ton.
4. Jabes has said the following: The true Jew is a rebel. He often exiles himself from the Jews. For instance, the prophets upset people by questioning traditional Jewish thought. A Jew cannot be a Jew if he does not question. All Jewish thought is based on endless commentary and discussion that is often contradictory. If a new question is asked which contradicts Jewish thought, it is still Jewish.' Interview with Jabes in Melinda Camber Porter, Through Parisian Eyes: Reflections on Contemporary French Arts and Culture (Oxford UP, 1986) p. 145. This is not in fact altogether true to historical fact (one has only to think of Spinoza), but it does describe one way for Jabes - and Derrida - to have their cake and eat it.
Reconstructing the text 5. There is a distinction to be made between Derrida' s earlier writings
which are concerned with what is known as Ma'aseh Bereshit, with questions of creation and cosmogony, and later writings which draw on the tradition of Ma' aseh Merlmvah or questions of the mystery- that
276 Notes and References
which Derrida sometimes calls the apocalypse. But in Derrida's work, the same structures recur (see the next section) and the later work is more easily accessible through the earlier.
6. Verbs in the Hebrew bible are usually in the future tense. 7. Exodus 33: 22-3. Achorei also means behind as in 'back parts'. With
slightly different vowelling, the word can also mean delay or lateness. 8. Levinas argued that a face-to-face encounter is possible. Derrida's article
on Levinas, 'Violence et metaphysique' in ED is largely devoted to showing that it is not.
9. The practice of speaking obscurely by mashal, by example or parable, is an ancient practice in Jewish exegesis just as it is a constant characteristic of esoteric writing to speak 'through' another text. In his early writings, Derrida hints that this is what he is doing (see, for example, ED, 337-8); later this becomes a theory of criticism and a theory of autobiography (see next section).
10. These are Heidegger's words. See Mark C. Taylor (ed.) Deconstruction in Context (U of Chicago P, 1986) p. 250. Derrida's opening and letting appear to differ from Heidegger' s, as Derrida himself repeatedly points out, because Heidegger is thinking in the context of the metaphysics of presence, while Derrida is not.
11. Taken from the daily service in the Jewish Prayer Book. 12. As Derrida points out, in Hebrew the word 'between' (ben) can take
the plural (benot): 'We have said the "between(s)" and this plural is in some sort "primary'" (Diss., note p. 251-2).
13. These were formulated by Maimonedes and are reproduced in the Jewish Prayer Book.
14. The Hebrew words for face-to-face, panim-el-panim, can also be read pnim-el-pnim, which means inwardness to inwardness. This is certainly the way Buber and Levinas read it.
15. For Derrida's relation to other philosophers, see Mark C. Taylor's excellent introduction to Deconstruction in Context (U of Chicago P, 1986) as well as the texts anthologised in it; Vincent Descombes, Modern French Philosophy, tr. L. Scott-Fox and J. M.

for instance, is based on this kind of division, although he tends to privilege the text's implicit counter-argument rather than to return opposites to indifference.

24. Ecclesiastes 1:13; XII:12; III:ll. 25. Like Levinas, Derrida sees 'the tautology of ipseity as an egoism'. See
Levinas, 'La Trace de I' Autre', Schrift fuer Filosofie 9 (1963). 26. For a provocative analysis of the similarities between conventional
criticism and deconstruction, see Rodolphe Gasche, 'Deconstruction as Criticism', Glyph 6 (1979) pp. 177-215.
