Deleuze contra Derrida

[Heikki Raudaskoski]

Dan, it is not until next week that I will have time to give you
& other list members a more minute explanation of what made me write 
the lines I wrote. That is because this huge problematics we have here
is so intertwined with what I have written and about to write on _GR_
and Pynchon in general. Suffice to say that I love D&G, esp. their
Kafka book and ATP, but that I am not ready to buy any straight
equations of _GR_ and D&G. In my view it was a good thing that the 
Warwick conference had its angle, maybe one of the reasons for the 
success, and I am waiting eagerly for the next _Pynchon Notes_ so that
I can read the papers. I would have liked to have come there myself, 
but was a wage slave here in the North for the whole autumn.   

I'll write more next week, but one short notion: the Derrida I'm 
"tracing down" might not be the trendy one you sketch here. 
Meanwhile, if you want, at least some of you, you could discuss how the 
next quote from Bogue's _D&G_ relates with _GR_:

"He (Deleuze) invents paradoxical concepts, which resemble such Derridean
notions as *differance*, *pharmakon*, or originary trace, but rather than
reinscribe these concepts within traditional texts, he uses them as the 
building blocks of an alternative world". (159)

Bets, please.
