| - Jacques Derrida (nintendo ~.~ - ?) was the founder of the Derrida Deconstruction™, a bulldozing company with operations in Algeria and France. From this business endeavour, Derrida realised he could carry out similar operations on books, a Eureka moment originating from a pot of alphabet soup, "mon Dieu, je pense qu'il y a quelque chose en cela ! Il n'y a pas de hors-texte". From this, his business structure expanded into the sale of the first commercial alphabetic fridge magnets. This led to an integral accident when he misspelt "difference" on his fridge door; he rectified this by claiming it was the ABSENCE of an origin, 'A' being the first letter in the alphabet, which affirmed the BEING-PRESENT of the differance. Analytic philosophers found this theory risible, and a very poor night-time read, and so spent their time in a productive manner deciding upon the differences between ducks and rabbits. Anglophone philosophers, to put it more broadly, agreed stating that "not only was it a load of tosh" but that "it wasn't even written in English" which made it "even more ridiculous". Meanwhile Foucault was busy trying out the effects of LSD in California, but that's besides the point... JD, Derrida's DJ name and preferred title, countered that his work wasn't "tosh" or "ridiculous", but actually lay somewhere in between in reference to the problem of the excluded middle by its relation to an antinomy that had no reference to space and time implied by the word "between". Moreover, the ontic-ontological quality of hiccups, commonly believed to be caused by trapped wind, la brisure, were actually initiated by an ABSENCE of 'sneer' quotations in the relationship between the signifier and signified, thus inaugurating its own death before eschatological qualities can even be applied or imposed within a logocentric framework upon the auxiliary form of writing. This was the gist of the argument explained on Derrida's daytime television show for children, "Let's Do Deconstruction" - (the 'do' being sous rature) [the being being sous rature] {the being being being s...oh forget it}. At the center - wait, let's start again - At the crux o...- hang on...erm - The Derrida controversy regarded his discovery of black holes...Wait, that was Hawking...I'll get it right this time: Derrida pioneered the concept of deconstruction of text. His initial application of this method involved the use of a swinging ball, influence from his bulldozing days, but this was soon revised in light of the fact that nothing could be outside the text. Fortunately, he solved this problem by deciding that the text deconstructs itself, because that way his pernicious bullshitting was less obvious. There are two simple principles to the idea of deconstruction: I: "Outside and Inside" : Il n'y a pas de hors-texte. II: "Absence and Presence" : C'est tous le pareil, seulement les noms changera. Un autre endroit, où les visages sont si froids. Je conduis toute la nuit, pour revenir juste maison. Je suis un cowboy, sur un cheval en acier je monte. Morts ou vivant voulus. Parfois je dors, parfois c'est pas pendant des jours. Les personnes que je rencontre vont toujours leurs manières séparées. Parfois vous dites le jour, par la bouteille que vous buvez...au sujet de tout seul tout que vous faites est pense. Je suis un cowboy, sur un cheval en acier je monte. Morts ou vivant voulus. Ah, je monte ! Ooh, et je suis un cowboy, sur un cheval en acier je monte. Je marche ces rues avec de la six-corde chargée sur mon dos. Je joue pour garde, parce que je ne pourrais pas le faire en arrière...toujours je suis se tenant grand...Je suis un cowboy, sur un cheval en acier je monte. Je suis un cowboy, j'ai eu la nuit de mon côté. Je suis a voulu des morts ou des morts voulus vivants ou vivant. Jacques is probably best known for his portrayal of Peter Falk in the hit television series Columbo, where his character solved mysteries with the help of his two dogs Muttley and Mumbly, and his glass eye. He joined the BBC as one of the first disc jockeys on BBC Radio 1 in 1957, bringing confusion to millions with his show 'Word Up', but dishonourably ditched his existing listeners to establish the pirate station Anti-YO, specifically targeted at the overweight and non-existant. Repeatedly confirming that these were his the best and most politically active listeners in the entire known history of the multiverse, 'cos that they were too fat or ethereal to complainement'. One listener also stated that when it came to the show 'he was all eyes'. Apparently Derrida died in 2004, a claim subseqently questioned by the New York Times which asked, "If truth is never final and there is nothing outside the text, how can he really be sure that he's dead?" Upon further Deconstruction of his body, it was discovered that he was indeed made up of just text. Sadly, this text made no sense, even to the most trained scholars.
- Jacques Derrida (July 15, 1930 – October 9, 2004), was a Jewish Frenchman born in Algeria who popularised the term Deconstruction. Amusingly enough he was originally named "Jackie" after the famous actor Jackie Coogan, but changed it to the more proper Jacques when he moved to France. World War Two broke out when he was a boy in France he was kicked out of school (along with every other person of Jewish background) as per the orders of the Nazi puppet regime set up in France after their surrender. Instead of going to the schools for displaced Jews, Derrida skipped school for a while and actually got involved in soccer, hoping to turn pro. He took an interest in philosophy around this time, which took him down a very different career path. Following the end of the Second World War, Derrida went to study philosophy at the the prestigious École Normale Supérieure and Harvard a few years later. His first published work was a translation of Husserl's Origin of Geometry, complete with Derrida's own introduction, which impressed the French academic establishment and won the Jean Cavaillès prize. In 1964 he returned to Normale, this time as a teacher. Derrida got the attention of the international community with his writing, "Structure, Sign, and Play in the Discourse of the Human Sciences", an essay on structuralism, and subsequently began publishing other works, including Of Grammatology, which would be part of the basis for his concept of Deconstruction. He was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Derrida was found to have pancreatic cancer in 2003 and died in 2004. Derrida introduced the term "deconstruction" in Of Grammatology. In literary criticism, the word is sometimes loosely defined as "reading against the grain" - the practice of looking for ways in which a text can be read as contradicting or questioning itself. Conventionally, the text is said to have deconstructed itself, because the ambiguities were already there before the critic pointed them out to you, whether you noticed them or not. This approach is associated with a group of literary critics called the Yale School. However, like most of Derrida's coinages, his use of the word is subversive, fluid and notoriously hard to define. Derrida did not regard deconstruction as a concept or a method, preferring to let his readers infer a meaning from it. This way, it retains its ambiguity and cannot be co-opted by any kind of establishment. Derrida's style is pretty unusual, and can initially seem very confusing. This is because he deliberately avoided most philosophical conventions like arguing and advancing points, instead exploring different existing ideas and works and seeking to destabilise their foundations. This way, he would uncover new ways to view and intepret these texts. He was especially distrustful of boundaries and binary oppositions such as male/female, inside/outside, speaking/writing and so on, and so he would identify areas of undecidability, which would upset these distinctions. To use one of Derrida's own examples, a virus throws the distinction between a living thing and an inanimate object into question; it cannot be accurately classified as either, but it has the characteristics of both. Derrida identifies similar undecidabilities throughout his work. He sought to show that meaning was not fixed by incorporating puns and word games, including passages which are deliberately difficult to translate, phrases which mean totally different things when taken out of context, and words with no specific meaning but which hint at other words. He was also influenced by many writers from outside the philosophical tradition, often modernist writers like James Joyce, Stephane Mallarme and Franz Kafka. Naturally, a lot of people found all of this really annoying. Always a controversial figure, Derrida has often been accused of being trivial or needlessly confusing, but remains highly influential within the arts and humanities.

Not only can a universal language be complete, but no language is complete. Complete in this sense refers to the idea that a word or series of words can not completely detail the entirety of a being or concept. “Cat” is a simple word for a very complex being. Individually we receive different images based upon the meaning that word has for us. Aristotle would categorize the cat as having some sort of catness. A black cat might give a bit more of a description, but still the idea is incomplete. To fully embody the specific cat we are referring would take an infinite series of descriptions to pinpoint. Derrida was pointing at more than the impressional differences words give the audience on specific examples such as the cat. Entire texts are interpreted by the reader individually. These texts that are interpreted one way by a person will be interpreted another way at a later reading by that same person. States of mind and psychology enter the interpretation. Specific passages or meanings pertinent to their immediate life tend to jump out at the subconscious in what Carl Jung would call synchronicity.
