Différance and the Deferral of Meaning
Investigate Derrida's concept of Différance.
📝 Treść promptu
Explain Jacques Derrida's neologism 'différance' and how it combines the concepts of difference (to be distinct) and deferral (to postpone). Discuss how this concept undermines the metaphysical assumption of presence or a fixed, immediate meaning in a text. Theorize how reading becomes an endless play of signification rather than a search for a final, definitive truth.
