The Last Words of “To Speculate—On ‘Freud’” in The Post Card: From Socrates to

Freud and Beyond Translated into English, with Notes in German on a Passage

Quoted in German from Friedrich Nietzsche’s Nachlass “of the 80s” Commentary

AM I playing postman to Derrida, delivering a translation that he never meant to arrive, thtat he had let behind? Is this postage a fuciton not only of translation (into Englsh) of Nietzsche and a critical edition, does gital serach and publicqation make this factor intoaccount?Protocols for a reading of reading after death Inedit pun on unpublished (French meaning) and false cognate with English, undited.

I am purposely all the movements in the trans- under the word transference,

whether in question is translation toward theoretical or descriptive language,

transposition from one science to another, metaphoric transposition within

language. The word transference reminds one of the unity of the metaphoric

network, which is precisely metaphor and transference

(ÜbertragungUebertragung), a network of correspondences, connections, switch

points, traffic and a semantic postal, railway sorting without which no transferential

destination would be possible, in the strictly technical sense that Freud’s

psychoanalysis has sought to assign this word  (See the end of Chapter Three). . . . .

Why does Derrida “no longer wish to translate” the final paragraph in the chapter Seven: Postscript?

Will a letter necessarilyL have been sent, even if it never arrives. Is the send-off alsoa edparture, a letting go, a leave taking of the letter? IS there always a sender even there no return to sender is ever guaranteed? . Not have been a book. Not arrived same as not pubished? Fn unpublished. What is relation between Ffreud's unmarked postscript and jds titled postscript.

In the last couple paragraphs in the Paralysis subchapter, Derrida translates the last part of Freud’s chapter in two ways and then proceeds to wonder why the seventh chapter was added. Why does he choose to translate Freud’s text two different ways for the reader? He barely goes into much of this last paragraph by Freud after he translates it before saying, “Period, the end.” Why does he not go into more depth regarding the last words of Freud and his decision to translate the text twice?

I have included the German words in order to emphasize the original language the oppositions that are important for our arguments, and in particular to make it clear that the word creator here does not designate someone who produces an existence ex nihilo; it is not the inventor who can do this, as we have stressed, but rather that artists (Künstler ) Psyche Invention of the Other Vol 1, 415, n. 18

I leave it to you

The last sentence of the note is “Other fragments of the same seminar will appear

soon in book form.” 293

Any morgue

He proposes to leave this obscure theme 295

I leave it to you to follow this factor up . . . ; I leave it you to follow this up, suggesting only that you not forget . . . 302

[I leave this expressly to be heard in the sense of the –conscious or unconscious –design and of the postal metaphor of the “express” envoi, of the letter that one hastens to write, of the dispatch that one dispatches to oneself in order not to entangle oneself, of the missive that one wishes at any cost and at any speed to see arrive—“at its destination”—the best means to, to do this, is to send to send it to oneself.]

Why pose the question in this form? At least because in this first intervention, this evening, I wish not to leave in the shadows the question of what I am doing here, supposing that I am doing anything whatsoever, the question of what I am here. Of I am here, of whether I am wanted or not wanted. Of what is wanted from me—and reciprocally. Du Tout, 517

I myself will not open this curtain—I leave it to you onto all the others, the words and things (curtains, canvases, veils, hymens, umbrellas, etc.) with which I have concerned myself for so long. 308

Is that a kind of not yet last will and testament, a gathering that is also a dispersal, a dissemination—Heidegger gathering (lessen, read / gather) versus Derrida read as dissemination)

1.       In general, it refers to everything that someone has not destroyed before his/her death and therefore leaves to his/her posterity. I can say: found in the ‘Nachlass’ of my mother, were letters and pictures that I did not know existed. Or one can say: This desk, chair and pen were found in the ‘Nachlass’ of Rilke. We know that he wrote his latest poems in this chair, on this desk, and with this pen.

2.       In a more special meaning, it refers to all the unpublished works of an author. Today, authors often bequeath the part of their writings that they do not plan to publish anymore to ‘Libraries’ before their deaths. For example: the Deutsche Literaturarchiv” in Marbach collects a lot of ‘Nachlässe’ and not only the ‘Nachlässe’ of dead authors.

It is a question of the future, the question of the future itself, the question of a response, of a promise and of a responsibility for tomorrow.

I asked myself what is the moment proper to the archive, if there is such a thing, the instant of archivization strictly speaking, which is not, and I will come back to this, so-called live or spontaneous memory (mnēmē or anamnēsis), but rather a certain hypomnesic and prosthetic experience of the technical substrate.Archive Fever, 25 Does it change anything that Freud did not know about the computer?

Lire en streamingLa vie des lettres - 28/03/2013 par ALEXANDRE GEFEN dans Mensuel n°530 à la page 22 (267 mots) | GratuitÀ mi-chemin entre une pensée institutionnelle de la création, un prix littéraire et une attention fine aux communautés de lecteurs - qui, après avoir été réunis de longues années sur le défunt Zazieweb, se retrouvent désormais sur Babelio ou sur les plates-formes de commentaires des grands distributeurs -, le Festival du premier roman de Chambéry propose une solution novatrice, la plate-forme Alphalire, qui lance la lecture « en flux », c'est-à-dire sans téléchargement, mais avec possibilité de

commentaires, de 80 romans de « primoromanciers », dont une vingtaine sera sélectionnée et primée.

Que nous dit une telle initiative, dont les modèles sont plus à trouver dans la performance artistique ou les expériences d'autopublication sans intermédiaire ou dans les innombrables tentatives de fabriquer des communautés d'intérêt que dans les traditions anciennes de lecture publique, dans la salle de théâtre ou dans le cabinet du lettré ? Assurément l'attrait de l'expérimentation technologique, l'avènement de ce que Jeremy Rifkin a baptisé « l'âge de l'accès », où les librairies laissent place aux réseaux, les biens matériels aux services, les médiateurs traditionnels du livre à ceux de l'action culturelle, les acheteurs aux utilisateurs et peut-être les auteurs aux lecteurs. Reste à savoir si notre vision du livre, encore lourdement chargée du poids matériel et symbolique du livre papier, nous permettra d'envisager ce genre d'expérience non comme une nouvelle dévalorisation de la tradition littéraire dans ce que Richard Millet a appelé la « postlittérature », mais plutôt comme une forme renouvelée et joyeuse de don littéraire de soi et d'invitation à ce que Marcel Proust nommait « l'acte psychologique original appelé Lecture ».

--Stéphane Mallarmé’s Preface to the 1897 Cosmopolis edition of “Un coup de dés jamais n’abolira le hazard / A Dice Throw at Any Time Will Never Abolish Chance”

Mallarmé’s Collected Poems and Other Verse with Parallel French Text Oxford World Classics, E.D. and A.M. Blackmore p. 232.

And yet with the other hand he wrote the letter that I cite in Legs (la séance continue, after seven years of happiness, the son-in-law has nothing to complain aobut,etc.). 190(To Be Continued),La séance continue 320la séance continue 376 337(la séance continue)”; 36; 190, 320, 337, 362, 376, 409, 451.“(Il y a plus de dix ans, jusque dans ses dernières lignes, Freud et la scène de l’écriture donnait à suivre un pas de Freud. Ceci—revenant en supplement différé —reste à suivre.)” la carte postale 357 (More than ten years ago, in its very last lines, “Freud and the Scene of WritingRepeition legates itself, the legacy repeats itself. 336” gave a step of Freud’s to be continued. This coming back as a deferred supplement—is to be continued.) 337

I now translate the attempt at another interpretation 326La séance continue 329This is to be continued. La séance continue” several times. To be continued in French is “C’est a suivre ,” La carte postale,” 437 Raising the Ring Tone of PhilosophyGlossing/Nach—a way translation and glossing come together in the “nach,” the post, “after” the gloss is not secondary but to come

Rereading the Legacy, it’s urgent now, I fall upon a letter from Neil Hertz that I was thinking of citing. He himself cites, in English, a citation fro Civilization and Its Discontents on which he has just fallen. It’s about the “cheap pleasures” of technology: “If there were no railway to make light of distances my child would never have left home and I should not need the telephone to hear his voice.” Envois, Post Card,225.

Is falling related to letting go, as in the falling, misstep, in Nietzsche Nachlass? Fall and meschances

Daniel Heller-Roazen, Echolalias: On the Forgetting of Language (MIT,2005)See H-R’s chapter “The Lesser animal” on aphasia and Freud’s book on aphasia, not included in the collected works, in which failure is central. Freud is into translation and a poetics of memory. The “language apparatus” 129-47

“the end of memory would lie in muteness, and forgetting would lead to speech.” 146

The role of “translation” in this model of the psyche is clearly decisive. /. . . . Who, first of all, could be said to translate in this case? It is difficult to see how there could be a translator, in any ordinary sense, when consciousness has not yet emerged. In a field in which the first “signs” (Zeichen) follow on the heels of “perceptions” that “exclude” all memory, moreover, there cannot be any “original text” to be translated. Strictly speaking, there can be only renditions (and renditions of renditions) that point to an event that is itself irreducible to notation 143-44

A reading of the letter to Fliess of 1896 makes it clear that the words of the young neurologist both hear and saw, “Now you’re gone” (Jetzt ist’s aus mit dir), announced the imminent ruin of his “psychic mechanism” not only in their semantic content, which was certainly threatening, but also in their form. By virtue of their fixity, the words “printed on a piece of paper floating in the air” spelled the end of speech. . . Out of the hands of the writer and the reader, its letters could not be “re-arranged” and “re-transcribed,” and for this reason they marked a limit point in the process of continual rewriting that defines the “psychic mechanism” as a while. It is significant, in tis sense, that Freud describes the “speech remnant” he saw and heard not as sketched, scrawled, or scribbled but as “printed” (gedruckt). The imprimatur withdraws it definitively from the field of drafts, rendering it resistant to all revision. It marks it as untranslatable, the unforgettable text of a linguistic capacity now gone. 144-45.

Consciousness emerges, much like the Freudian theory itself, as the product of a gradual process of writing and rewriting: the final result of the multiple “re-arrangements” and “re-transcriptions” [Umschriften] by which “signs” [Zeichen] bearing witness to “perceptions” (Umschriften] are “laid down,” revised, and reproduced in the course of “at least” three different “registrations” [Niederschriften). Freud went on to explain to his friend that each of the psychic “transcripts” represents a distinct period of time and that between any two “registrations” there necessarily lie gaps, which can be abridged, if not effaced, by further forms of writing: “translations” (or “transpositions,” [Übersetzung]. Such “renditions,” to be exact, serve a vital function in the psychic mechanism. When a “translation” fails to mend the breaks registrations, Freud argued, “anachronism” (Anchronismen) develop. (142)

Quoting from Freud’s letter:

Every later transcript inhibits its predecessor and drains the excitatory process from it. If a later transcript is lacking, the excitation is dealt with in accordance with psychological laws in force in the earlier psychic period and along the paths open at that time. Thus an anachronism persists. In a particular province fueros [Spanish word D H-R glosses as “out-dated laws”] are still in force we are in the presence of “survivals” [es kommen “Überlebeset” zustande]. A failure of translation [Die Versagung der Übersetzung]—this is what is known clinically as “repression.” The

moment for it is always a release of the displeasure [Unlustbindung] that would be generated by a translation; is is through this displeasure provoked a disturbance of thought that did not permit the work of translation [als ob dises Denksstoerung hervorreife, die die Übersetzungsarbeit nicht gestatt] [note 43] p. 143 Note 43, 250 Freud, Complete Letters of Sigmund Freud to Wilhelm Fleiss, p. 208 trans. Modified. Binding—central to speculate on Freud—also part about Freud binding of the Écrits in love Lacan.

the full bibliographical information on the quotation from Nietzsche's Nachlassat the end of To Speculate--On 'Freud."""The Will to Power" is in the title.   Derrida mentions the words onthe same page he says he no longer wishes to translate the passage.

La séance continue, how do you analyze that? I’m talking grammar, as always, is it a verb or an adjective? These are the questions. 178

And this is why I found it monstrous that after his daughter’s death he could have said “la séance continue”), the old man who remains the last to read himself, late at night. 199Page 293, Note 2. TN. To continue the last note, I have also indicated the play on demarche throughout. [The “last note” is on 292]

I will continue, I will start over, and above all, no monism, Jung fort! weg!” 367

Let us continue to analyze the “overlapping” stricter of the Fortgehen. 332

From the moment the séance continues 330

But it is not over. La séance continue, and the narrative follows its course. 376Therefore the work goes on, everything continues, fort-geht one might say. La séance continue, 329Just now it was busy (more than fifty minutes, watch in hand), I died several times, but you see, “la séance continue.” 36

“My answer would be that . . . “ What would his answer be? Another conditional hypothesis. 378

Drifting designates too continuous a movement. 261“textual drift” 483

A post effect. Of a postman [facteur] charged with proceeding toward delivery. 394Is there is a posthumous effect, not a posthuman?

And rather occurs “in service” 394

178

My wife is quite overwhelmed. I think: La séance continue. But it was a little much for one week. 329

The secondary is the supplemental 394Of the Setzen (Erzetzen of the primary by the secondary 394 A kind of annexation. . . Anschluss is an added piece, but also, again, a connecting train. 378

Why seek this word that appears in neither a cursory writing nor reading? 390The last lap is begun 390 This little prosthesis of a last chapter 388And that we are reading as an interminable narrative. 389 This is not very clear 378

Derrida has a sentence earlier "This seminar will have played the fort:daof Nietzsche."  Post Card, 405 Future anterior tense, but not future anterior conditional

so in addition to titling this appendix"Nach/Gloss," I am thinking about Nietzsche as a missing "fo-da"figure, rather like the way Freud's son-in-law is missing in the spoolanecdote, as JD points out, in Beyond . . . .

The passage will have been translated whether Derrida no longer wished to do so or not.

What is a critical edition? Paradoxical case of Nietzsche edition based on a plan of the Nachlass that N himself rejected. But it is the only plan he had was better than his sister’s.

The missing title of the Nietzsche aphorism is

The Will to Power, and Derrida has used that phrase just earlier, without mentioning Nietzsche’s name when he gets to postal power.

The transition from observation to theory would only have been a translation (Übersetzung), 380Constituting the very aspiration of the will to power, the differential which does not go without resistance. 408Heidegger reading the eternal return and the will to power in relation to the Nachlass

Martin Heidegger, Nietzsche: Volumes One and Two Trans. David F. Krell (New York: HarperOne, 1991), Volume 2, sections 10, 11, 19-22, pp70-81; 144-65.

Speculative repetition and transference start the march. 384 Beyond the Pleasure Principle—power. That is, posts. 405Note 11 at the bottom of the page to the work of Francois Luerelle, Beyond the Power Principle.405There is only the differance of power. Hence the posts. 405“overflows power” 405 or 406The “posts” are always posts of power. And power is exercised according to the network of posts. The drive for postal power is more originary than the pp and independent of it. 405

Beyond all conceptual opposition, Bemächtigung indeed situates one of the exchanges between the drive to dominate as the drive of he drive, and the “will to power.” 405 Derrida’s comments on missing things in French translations

“overlapping” 342; such was the condition for the overlapping 321 ; a deferred

overlapping 321

He writes that he is writing, he describes what he is describing, but this is also what

he is doing, he does what he is describing, to wit, what Ernst is doing: fort / da with

his sool [bobine]. And each time that one says to do, one must specify: to allow to do

(lassen). Freud does not do fort/da, indefatigably, with the object that the PP is. He

does it with himself, he recalls himself. Following a detour of the tele, this time an

entire network. 320

Derrida moves form fort / da to fort : da on p. 321

The writing of a fort/da is always a fort/da, and the PP and its death drive are to be

sought in the exhausting of this abyss. . . . The fortsein of which Freud is speaking is

not any more fort than Dasein is da. Whence it follows, (for this is not immediately

the same thing), that by virtue of the Entfurnung and the pas in question elsewhere,

the fort is not any more distant than the da is here. An overlap without equivalence:

fort:da. 321

And just because you follow a norm does not mean that the way you follow cannot be strange, as is Freud’s practice of cross-referencing his own works and his additions of notes to successive editions of his works. Derrida is careful to note when Freud does not mention a name when he gives a citation form a text, like Nietzsche’s. Cite BPP Strachey edition

Freud specifies between dashes 279

Translation 380

Ellipses in the quotation from Nietzsche—see Derrida on Freud’s use of them in the

story from the Symposium. Does Derrida give the full quotation? He puts Socrates’

name back—he does a kind of philological repair job on Freud—giving Nietzsche’s

missing name, giving the passage Freud ellipses as well as Socrates’ name.

This is how I hear Freud resonate, at my own risk and peril, I translate now . . Here

is the original text that I just translated, and that I translate in another way. If one

has confidence in certain norms, one will doubtless find it more faithful. “ If so, it

may be asked why I have embarked upon efforts such as this chapter, and why they

are delivered for publication. Well, I cannot deny that some of the analogies,

corrections and connections which it contains seemed to me to deserve

consideration. . . “ (60; mod.). My emphasis: mir der Beachtung würdig erschienen

sind. Period, the end. This is the final point, the last words of the chapter. 385

“ This seminar will have played fort / da with Nietzsche.” PC,

“For it is always possible that the I have forgotten my umbrella,” detached as it is, not only from the milieu that produced it, but also from any intention or meaning on Nietzsche’s part, should remain so, whole and intact, once and for all, without any other context. The meaning and the signature that appropriates it re-main in principle inaccessible... That inaccessibility though is not necessarily one of some hidden secret. It might just as easily be an inconsistency, or of no significance at all Derrida, Spurs (125).

In The Post Card, Derrida ends the postscript of the chapter “To Speculate--On

‘Freud’” in a strikingly curious way in a postscript. Without giving any explanation,

he says he no longer wishes to translate a passage from Friedrich Nietzsche’s

Nachlass, a word meaning “left behind” he does not translate nor give the

bibliographical source for . He then cites the passage in German. Alan Bass does not

translate the German word “Nachlass” either,” nor does he translate the sentence

Derrida cites in German by Nietzsche. Nachlass literally means “left behind,” and

Derrida refers to its meaning as Nietzsche’s notebooks housed in the Nietzsche

archive that were only published posthumously.1 Derrida does not give a full

bibliographical reference to the citation from Nietzsche, just the title: “All this to be

read in the Nachlass of the 80s, surrounding this sentence which I no longer wish to

translate.” At the end of the quotation, Derrida adds “This is to be continued.” 2

1 “Nachlass is a German word, used in academia to describe the collection of

manuscripts, notes, correspondence, and so on left behind when a scholar dies. The Nachlass of an important scholar is often placed in a research library or scholarly archive.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nachlass. Friedrich Nietzsche , Nachgelassene Fragmente 1880-1882. Ed. Giorigi Colli and Mazzino Montinari (Berlin: Walter de de Gruyter 1999).

2 In Bass’s translation, Derrida cites, in English, one of the chapter’s subtitles, that

Bass leaves in French “La séance continue,” a subtitle which Derrida takes from

Freud, who said the words “la séance continue,” in French, when he learned that his

daughter Sophie had died. The last line of Derrida’s chapter, “This is to be

continued,” repeats earlier appearances of the same phrase on pp. 337 and 409; the

same phrase, left by Bass in the original French, “la séance continue,” appears on pp.

320 and 376. In French, “séance” also means “session,” as in a psychoanalytic

session.

I have a question for you related to my reading of a passage from Nietzsche's

The séance—the telepathic in Freud?—the pun on both meanings in French, like

medium? Freud telephones himself. The question of difference and distance.

I provide the missing relevant bibliographical information for the source of the

qutationquotation, and then a translation of it into English. But first, herehere is the

passage in German, taken from the English translation by Alan Bass, as it is

Nachlass that bears on posthumous publication something being left behind . Nchlass is translated into English as "unpublished notebooks" if Nachlass were the same thing as Notizbuch. They are also called the Nachgelessenen Fragmenten.   The question is about the etymology German word "nach" when it is incorporated in words like "Nachlass, Nachlassen, Nachgelassen, Nachlesen, Nachricht, nachträgliche , Nachtraege," and so on mostly in relation to unpublished works (Nachlass), paratexts, like nachtreage, and also reading (Nachlesen).  I found a wide variety of translations for nachlesen usage here:http://en.bab.la/dictionary/german-english/nachlesen

Sometimes the meaning of "nach" is afterwards or, in the case of Nachlass, behind (left behind).

I noticed that posthumous can be translated into German as nachträgliche  as well as posthum or nach den Tode.Nachtraege can mean epilogue or post script or afterwards. 

das Schreibheft das Notebookdas NotizbuchDie Aufzeichnungen des Malte Laurids Brigge by Rainer Maria Rilke Tagebucheintragungen 

It's difficult to formulate my question, but here is a try. I take it that the meanings of "nach" when it is a word by itself, especially the meanings "behind, "after" and "post" only operate are sometimes activated in words like Nachlass," but not in words like "Nachricht."  I also take it that you could activate a pun on"mach" in "Nachricht," however.   Is that right?  Nach seems to be such an omnipresent word in German that has no equivalent word in English (it has LOTS of equivalents).  I particularly like "nach vorn" forwards.  The end comes first.  My general question is you have any thoughts about the etymology (of which I am ignorant) of "mach" related words/=.  I am "thinking after"  something (Nachdenken?] as well as a publication that has ben left--hence as something that may be considered a gift, something stored and bequeathed, expressly willed or not, to survivors or as something abandoned.  or both.  Something "to be" written and / or read.  Sorry if my questions are hopelessly muddled.

introduced by Derrida and followed by its translation into English the last sentence

of the chapter.:

All this to be read in the Nachlass of the 80s, surrounding this sentence which I no longer wish to translate: “ . . . aber in plotzlichichen Fäaellen kommt, wenn man genau beobachtet, die Gegenbewegung ersichtlich früueher als Schmerzzempfindung.

some information for some of the citations. Derrida’s works await a critical edition

It is like the answering machine whose voice outlives its moment of recording: you call, the other person is dead, now, whether you know it or not, and the voice responds to you, it can even give you instructions, make declarations to you, address your requests, prayers, promises, injunctions. Supposing, concesso non dato, that a living being ever responds in an absolutely living and infinitely, well-adjusted manner, without the least automatism, without ever having an archival technique overflow the singularity of an event, we know in any case that a spectral response (thus informed by a technē and inscribed in an archive) is always possible. Archive Fever 62

It is a question of the future, the question of the future itself, the question of a response, of a promise and of a responsibility for tomorrow. The archive: if we want to know what that will have meant, we will only know in times to come. Perhaps. Not tomorrow but in times to come, later on or perhaps never. Archive Fever 36

I asked myself what is the moment proper to the archive, if there is such a thing, the instant of archivization strictly speaking, which is not, and I will come back to this, so-called live or spontaneous memory (mnēmē or anamnēsis), but rather a certain hypomnesic and prosthetic experience of the technical substrate.Archive Fever, 25 Does it change anything that Freud did not know about the computer?

On the other hand, Derrida does repair Freud’s text at certain points, pointing out

that the quotation belongs to Nietzsche, that Freud omits Socrates’ name when he

tells the story from the symposium. So he fills in missing information, information

that has been “erased.”

La vie des lettres - 28/03/2013 par ALEXANDRE GEFEN dans Mensuel n°530 à la page 22 (267 mots) | GratuitÀ mi-chemin entre une pensée institutionnelle de la création, un prix littéraire et une attention fine aux communautés de lecteurs - qui, après avoir été réunis de longues années sur le défunt Zazieweb, se retrouvent désormais sur Babelio ou sur les plates-formes de commentaires des grands distributeurs -, le Festival du premier roman de Chambéry propose une solution novatrice, la plate-forme Alphalire, qui lance la lecture « en flux », c'est-à-dire sans téléchargement, mais avec possibilité de commentaires, de 80 romans de « primoromanciers », dont une vingtaine sera sélectionnée et primée.

Que nous dit une telle initiative, dont les modèles sont plus à trouver dans la performance artistique ou les expériences d'autopublication sans intermédiaire ou dans les innombrables tentatives de fabriquer des communautés d'intérêt que dans les traditions anciennes de lecture publique, dans la salle de théâtre ou dans le cabinet du lettré ? Assurément l'attrait de l'expérimentation technologique, l'avènement de ce que Jeremy Rifkin a baptisé « l'âge de l'accès », où les librairies laissent place aux réseaux, les biens matériels aux services, les médiateurs traditionnels du livre à ceux de l'action culturelle, les acheteurs aux utilisateurs et peut-être les auteurs aux lecteurs. Reste à savoir si notre vision du livre, encore lourdement chargée du poids matériel et symbolique du livre papier, nous permettra d'envisager ce genre d'expérience non comme une nouvelle dévalorisation de la tradition littéraire dans ce que Richard Millet a appelé la « postlittérature », mais plutôt comme une forme renouvelée et joyeuse de don littéraire de soi et d'invitation à ce que Marcel Proust nommait « l'acte psychologique original appelé Lecture ».

I have a question for you related to my reading of a passage from Nietzsche's Nachlass that bears on posthumous publication something being left behind . Nchlass is translated into English as "unpublished notebooks" if Nachlass were the same thing as Notizbuch. They are also called the Nachgelessenen Fragmenten.   The question is about the etymology German word "nach" when it is incorporated in words like "Nachlass, Nachlassen, Nachgelassen, Nachlesen, Nachricht, nachträgliche , Nachtraege," and so on mostly in relation to unpublished works (Nachlass), paratexts, like nachtreage, and also reading (Nachlesen).  I found a wide variety of translations for nachlesen usage here:http://en.bab.la/dictionary/german-english/nachlesen

It's difficult to formulate my question, but here is a try. I take it that the meanings of "nach" when it is a word by itself, especially the meanings "behind, "after" and "post" only operate are sometimes activated in words like Nachlass," but not in words like "Nachricht."  I also take it that you could activate a pun on"mach" in "Nachricht," however.   Is that right?  Nach seems to be such an omnipresent word in German that has no equivalent word in English (it has LOTS of equivalents).  I particularly like "nach vorn" forwards.  The end comes first.  My general question is you have any thoughts about the etymology (of which I am

But it is also unpublished and it is untranslated. Earlier other bizarre translations

and I said or that is not what Freud is saying—internal transpositions. So what is at

stake here is the relation between the German verb “lassen,” to leave, on which

Derrida does not comment, and “lösen,” to solve, and as such bears on the archive,

the left behind, the “suppressed” notes as Heidegger calls them.

But let us leave this this. (To leave, laisser: is this another modality of to unbind? Let us leave this, the problem was knotted elsewhere.) 391

Sometimes the meaning of "nach" is afterwards or, in the case of Nachlass, behind (left behind).

I noticed that posthumous can be translated into German as nachträgliche  as well as posthum or nach den Tode.Nachtraege can mean epilogue or post script or afterwards.

For this very reason, you will excuse me for beginning so very close to myself.By accident, and sometimes on the brink of an accident, I find myself writing without seeing.  Not with my eyes closed, to be sure, but open an disoriented in the night; or else during the day, my eyes fixed on something else, while looking elsewhere, in front of me, for example, when at the wheel:  I then scribble with my right hand a few squiggly lines on a piece of paper attached to the dashboard or lying on the seat beside me.  Sometimes, still without seeing, on the steering wheel itself. These notations—unreadable graffiti—are for memory; one would later think to be a ciphered writing.

Having recalled this, and having taken this precaution as a matter of principle, I am not doing what one ought to do and cannot do it with you in a seminar. I cannot do all that again with you here for at least two reasons, as I was saying. The one has to do with the obvious lack of time: it would take us years. The other, less obvious, is that I also believe in the necessity, sometimes, in a seminar the work of which is not simply reading, in the necessity, and even the fecundity, when I’m optimistic and confident, of a certain number of leaps, certain new perspectives from a turn in the text, from a stretch of path that gives you another view of the whole, like, for example, when you’re driving a car on a mountain road, a hairpin or a turn, an abrupt and precipitous elevation suddenly gives you in an instant a new perspective on the whole, or a large part of the itinerary or of what orients, designs, or destines it. And here there intervene not only each person’s reading-idioms, with their history, their way of driving (it goes without saying that each of my choices and my perspectives depends broadly here, as I will never try to hide, on my history, my previous work, my way of driving, driving on this read, on my drives, desires and phantasms, even if I always try to make them both intelligible, shareable, convincing and open to discussion) [here there intervene, not only each person’s reading-idioms, with their history, their way of driving] in the mountains or on the flat, on dirt roads or on highways, following this or that map, this or that route, but also the crossing, the decision already taken and imposed by you by fiat as soon as it was proposed to you, to read a given seminar by Heidegger and Robinson Crusoe, i.e., two discourses also on the way and on the path which can multiply perspectives from which two vehicles can light up, their headlights crossing, the overall cartography and the landscape in which we are traveling and driving together, driving on all these paths interlaced, intercut, overloaded with bridges, fords, no entries or one-way streets, etc.

may be glossed in relation to translation, archival remainders, media, and

posthumous publication.

Does I no longer wish mean that there is nothing left to be done, nothing more to be done, that exhaustion, though not completion has been reached ? Is Derrida echoing Freud on “wish”? Has he exhausted everything? Is there nothing left to do?Derrida focuses on losen—binding, tying, division, stepping, as the drive of the drive—resolve, solvency

Letter never necessarily arrives. But is the letter always posted? Is a paratexutal promissory note the same thing as a post? What about not forwarding the post, not becoming a facteur? What is the relation between the post man and the translator.

Derrida focuses on losen—binding, tying, division, stepping, as the drive of the drive—resolve, solvency

But what about lassen and losen? Nachlass as left behind, the supplement, reimainder, as leftover, but not just a surplus, but a de-parting, leaving versus departing (waving goodbye), or leaving versus taking your leave, as opposed to going, which is the verb for Derrida—the demarche—the proceeding, procedure.

Derrida opposes going and leaving and leaving that has already left—but what all divisions and repetitions form a network, regardless of their unity. But what if there is a divsion within leaving and already left, a division even finer between leaving and departing. Derrida knows the letter will not necessarily arrive. But he also doesn't distinguish between announced and arrival. No destination, just destinerrance. But what about mourning and reposnisbilityresponsibility in relation to de-part-ing? The party in departing—the wake after the sending, the wake as the send-off of what as already left, namely, the dead.

But Nachlass as “to be followed up” or to be published—but only in fragments, only in rings, only in crypts that get broken up and left-that don’t hold the ghost that returns.

So at the end, Nietzsche is not carried across, but completion of the circle from the second sentence and footnote to Nietzsche—is the third return to Nietzsche in the post script—with its post effect—a reference to the third ring—Derrida disrupts or questions his metaphor—or the third return to Nietzsche in this text.The place of the footnotes and references to future to be publish---leaves behind notes to be followed—la séance continue.Nietzsche eternal return

But because this material consists in fact in an enormous operation, this stratum of

readability admits not only of a translation but also of much more elaborated

operations. A “psychoanalytic” decoding, for example, could be proposed which

would ultimately, after a detour of certain generalities, of course, related to

Nietzsche’s idiom. Spurs, 129

Has Derrida’s will, especially regarding the disposition of his archive, ever been

published? Is it public? Is it a legal document that can never included in the

Derrida archive but always has to be stored elsewhere, privately?

Der Wille zur Macht als Leben

Psychologie des Willens zur Macht. Lust Unlust

Der Schmerz ist etwas Anderes als die Lust, — ich will sagen, er ist nicht deren Gegentheil. Wenn das Wesen der Lust zutreffend bezeichnet worden ist als ein Plus-Gefühl von Macht (somit als ein Differenz-Gefühl, das die Vergleichung voraussetzt), so ist damit das Wesen der Unlust noch nicht definirt. Die falschen Gegensätze, an die das Volk und folglich die Sprache glaubt, sind immer gefährliche Fußfesseln für den Gang der Wahrheit gewesen. Es giebt sogar Fälle, wo eine Art Lust bedingt ist durch eine gewisse rhythmische Abfolge kleiner Unlust-Reize: damit wird ein sehr schnelles Anwachsen des Machtgefühls, des Lustgefühls erreicht. Dies ist der Fall z.B. beim Kitzel, auch beim geschlechtlichen Kitzel im Akt des coitus: wir sehen dergestalt die Unlust als Ingredienz der Lust thätig. Es scheint, eine kleine

Hemmung, die überwunden wird und der sofort wieder eine kleine Hemmung folgt, die wieder überwunden wird — dieses Spiel von Widerstand und Sieg regt jenes Gesammtgefühl von überschüssiger überflüssiger Macht am stärksten an, das das Wesen der Lust ausmacht. — Die Umkehrung, eine

― VIII-3.151/13.359 ―

Vermehrung der Schmerzempfindung durch kleine eingeschobene Lustreize, fehlt: Lust und Schmerz sind eben nichts Umgekehrtes. — Der Schmerz ist ein intellektueller Vorgang, in dem entschieden ein Urtheil laut wurde, — das Urtheil „schädlich“, in dem sich lange Erfahrung aufsummirt hat. An sich giebt es keinen Schmerz. Es ist nicht die Verwundung, die weh thut; es ist die Erfahrung, von welchen schlimmen Folgen eine Verwundung für den Gesammt-Organismus sein kann, welche in Gestalt jener tiefen Erschütterung redet, die Unlust heißt (bei schädigenden Einflüssen, welche der älteren Menschheit unbekannt geblieben sind, z.B. von Seiten neu combinirter giftiger Chemikalien, fehlt auch die Aussage des Schmerzes, — und wir sind verloren…) Im Schmerz ist das eigentlich Spezifische immer die lange Erschütterung, das Nachzittern eines schreckenerregenden choc's in dem cerebralen Heerde des Nervensystems: — man leidet eigentlich nicht an der Ursache des Schmerzes (irgend einer Verletzung zum Beispiel), sondern an der langen Gleichgewichtsstörung, welche in Folge jenes choc's eintritt. Der Schmerz ist eine Krankheit der cerebralen Nervenheerde — die Lust ist durchaus keine Krankheit… — Daß der Schmerz die Ursache ist zu Gegenbewegungen, hat zwar den Augenschein und sogar das Philosophen-Vorurtheil für sich; aber in plötzlichen Fällen kommt, wenn man genau beobachtet, die Gegenbewegung ersichtlich früher als die Schmerzempfindung. Es stünde schlimm um mich, wenn ich bei einem Fehltritt zu warten hätte, bis das Faktum an die Glocke des Bewußtseins schlüge und   ein Wink   , was zu thun ist, zurücktelegraphirt würde… Vielmehr

unterscheide ich so deutlich als möglich, daß erst die Gegenbewegung des Fußes, um den Fall zu verhüten, folgt und dann, in einer meßbaren Zeitdistanz, eine Art schmerzhafter Welle plötzlich im vorderen Kopfe fühlbar wird. Man reagirt also nicht auf den Schmerz. Der Schmerz wird nachher projicirt in die verwundete Stelle: — aber das Wesen dieses Lokal-Schmerzes bleibt trotzdem nicht der Ausdruck der Art der Lokal-Verwundung, es

― VIII-3.152/13.360 ―

ist ein bloßes Ortszeichen, dessen Stärke und Tonart der Verwundung gemäß ist, welches die Nerven-Centren davon empfangen haben. Daß in Folge jenes choc's die Muskelkraft des Organismus meßbar heruntergeht, giebt durchaus noch keinen Anhalt dafür, das Wesen des Schmerzes in einer Verminderung des Machtgefühls zu suchen… Man reagirt, nochmals gesagt, nicht auf den Schmerz: die Unlust ist keine „Ursache“ von Handlungen, der Schmerz selbst ist eine Reaktion, die Gegenbewegung ist eine andere und frühere Reaktion, — beide nehmen von verschiedenen Stellen ihren Ausgangspunkt. —

Notebook 14, spring 1888

Pain is something different from pleasure — I mean to say, it is not its opposite. If the essence of pleasure has been accurately described as a feeling of more power (thus as a feeling of differentiation that presupposes comparison), this doesn't mean the essence of unpleasure has thus been defined. The false oppositions believed in by the common people and con- sequently by language have always been dangerous shackles for the course of truth. There are even cases where a kind of pleasure is conditioned by a certain rhythmic succession of small unpleasurable stimuli: this leads to a very rapid growth of the feeling of power, the feeling of pleasure. This is the case, e.g., in tickling, including the sexual tickling in the act of coitus: here we see unpleasure working as an ingredient in pleasure. It seems a little resistance is overcome and is immediately followed by another little resistance, which in turn is overcome — this play of resistance and victory most strongly stimulates that overall feeling of surplus, excessive power, that feeling which amounts to the essence of pleasure. - The reverse, an augmentation of the feeling of pain through little interpolated pleasurable stimuli, doesn't exist: pleasure and pain are, precisely, not the reverse of one another. — Pain is an intellectual process in which a judgment makes itself unmistakably heard - the judgment 'harmful', into which long experience has accumulated. In itself there is no pain. It is not the wound that hurts; it is the experience of what grave consequences a wound can have for the organism as a whole that speaks in the shape of that deep agitation called unpleasure (in the case of harmful influences unknown to earlier men, e.g., from new combinations of toxic chemicals, pain bears no witness - and we are undone . . .). In pain, the really specific thing is always the long agitation, the after-trembling of a terrifying shock in the cerebral focus of the nervous system: one's suffering is not actually due to the cause of the pain (some injury, for example) but to the long-lasting upset of equilibrium proceeding from that shock. Pain is a sickness of the cerebral nerve centers — whereas pleasure is by no means a sickness . . . — That pain is the cause of counter-movements may be supported by appearances and even by the prejudice of philosophers; but in sudden cases, if one looks closely, the counter-movement manifestly arrives earlier than the feeling of pain. I'd be in a sorry plight if, having stumbled, I had to wait until the fact struck the bell of consciousness and a hint of what to do was telegraphed back . . . Instead, I distinguish as clearly as possible that the counter-movement of the foot happens first, to prevent a fall, and then, after a measurable passage of time, a kind of painful wave suddenly

makes itself felt in the front of my head. One does not, thus, react to the pain. Pain is afterwards projected into the injured place - but the essence of this local pain is, nevertheless, not the expression of the type of local injury: it's merely a place-sign, appropriate to the injury in strength and tone, that the nerve centers have received from it. If the organism's muscular strength drops measurably as a consequence of the shock, this by no means indicates that the essence of pain should be sought in a lessening of the feeling of power ... To repeat, one does not react to pain: unpleasure is not a 'cause' of actions, pain itself is a reaction, the counter-movement is another and earlier reaction — the two things originate in different places. —http://pm.nlx.com.lp.hscl.ufl.edu/xtf/view?docId=nietzsche_de/nietzsche_de.09.xml;query=Regenschirm%20;brand=default;hit.rank=1#rank1
