Minnen av Derrida
"Derrida: An Autothanatography" av Marco Roth [via: low culture]. Amerikansk student minns hur det var på Derridas seminarier i Paris 1996:
Också: Bengt O. - "De mortuis allt annat än bene".
"There were days when he emerged in the company of a band of initiates and wandered off, others when he dashed quickly into the courtyard. Interrupted in his flight, he could be furious. I witnessed him screaming at a student, a German or American by the look of it, who’d seized the moment to ask if Derrida had read the paper he’d slipped under his door. There was never any paper, at least according to Derrida. The student insisted. Had the master perhaps mislaid it? That charge was enough to transform the usually courteous philosopher into a madman. The student was barred from the seminar, told never to return. Trying to make sense of this, I thought that Derrida had detected, somewhere in this apparently sincere young man, an inappropriate desire for closeness beyond that of auditor and master. He wanted to make Derrida feel guilty and Derrida would have none of it. He got into his nondescript white car, a cheap Renault, nearly reversed into the crowd of onlookers and drove off."

Man tackar för länken - där har vi alltså förklaringen till den plötsliga spiken i besökarstatistiken ;-)
Den amerikanske studentens berättelse är underbar - precis så beskriver Pallisser "Henri Galvanauskas" (Derrida) i Betrayals!

Tror jag måste läsa Betrayals.
(Hur många besökare fick du? 2-3 stycken max, va? ;-)
