    We could maybe summarise some of this explanation by saying: any given tagmeme is outlined by the negative space given by the limit of sum of the terms which it is not. Brown is the negative space left by the sum of all other colours, the more colours you involve the more accurate your approximation of brown is. As we collect more and more terms that carry distinction information about what an object is not, the object implied by the negative space reveals itself in higher resolution, but not explicitly.

    The lecture is great because it confirms my hunch- by arguing correctly that there is no signified- in absurdly complex and pretentious ways- Derrida is saying no more than later Wittgenstein- who said it pretty clearly without the need for mystification.

      nobody has ever claimed that the arbitrariness of the linguistic sign has anything to do with cause and effect. moreover, as pointed out in the lecture, de saussure and derrida go much further than saying "linguistic sign is arbitrary", as that is a rather trivial claim already made by the ancient greeks and completely unremarkable.

      @@genghis_cohen I claim that arbitrariness of the sign is the same as denying cause and effect , alright? And it is an idiotic notion, whether it was said by ancient Greeks, Locke or Saussure. It's like saying Eskimos developed to be stout and have narrow eyes, while people near equator to have dark skin and more long-limbed body structure by dint of chance. This is an axiom upon which they build their (misguided) theories and it's idiotic.

Oh, it's defined by the structure of the language. Great, so to understand what he says I need to understand ALL of (endlessly mutating and growing) language, lest there's some rule or usage that doesn't properly differentiate his terminology from similarly arbitrary terminology, and so on. What a mental dead end. Thank God he's almost entirely supplanted by other schools.

    • @genghis_cohen
      @genghis_cohen Год назад

      what the fuck are you on about? why would the fact that the word tree has no intrinsic connection to actual trees or the concept of trees have anything to do with causality? the naming scheme you refer to is not de saussure's though it is arbitrary, as noted by its proponents such as john locke. it's also a fiction and mostly useful for defining de saussure's project by contrast. de saussure never claims that you need to understand all of language to make use of it. if you genuinely think he does, i'd suggest taking your head out of your ass. it's only that you need to already be within language to make sense of it. the word "tree" can't fully be understood without understanding "leaf", "root", "forest", "birch" and all other sorts of signifiers within some proximity of the word. this is in fact a view that is very open to the endless mutating and growing you describe as it takes the unrootedness of language almost as an axiom.

      @@genghis_cohen you don't need to know anything about roots to have names for trees, for starters. Furthermore to say that the word tree doesn't have any intrinsic connection to the tree is like to say "the tools this tribe makes, their customs, the material they make their clothes with are arbitrary and have no connection to the concrete material reality they inhabit and their history down to most minute experience."

    I see Derrida's style as reading much like Nietzsche's. He even wrote that book, Spurs: Nietzsche's Style, which I haven't looked at for years, but I have The Derrida Reader left, which as I read it, sounds to me like Nietzsche, the sound I mean. But, as far as the construction of his sentences goes, I truly believe that he works on many sentences at once, skipping ahead in the middle of one, filling in part of another, assembling them with a goal in mind to discover how far he can push the limits of the matter of the subject he is discussing while remaining grammatical and somewhat reasonable to comprehend.
