Barthes

I did read the pertinent article there, but I find the writing in this article more striking.

but I should keep reading that text as well. I knew nothing of Barthes until last week.

i think you might also get something out of the late lectures, specifically in this case, Le neutre, where he explores how one might use language or concepts designed to thwart the binary paradigm, the apodictic and clear or dogmati.

ok thanks!

Seconded, although my preference re: le neutre obviously goes to Blanchot (see: L'Entretien infini and Le pas au-delà in particular).
