From: "Alessandro Barberi" <alessandro.barberi-AT-univie.ac.at> Subject: AW: Archaeology of Knowledge, The trace Date: Tue, 17 Oct 2000 06:11:16 +0200 Dear Loren, I think that the sentences you quoted are in regard to the context very clear, because Foucault wants to be beyond every kind of historico-transcendental theme. Consequently it is written a few sentences under your quotation, that the analysis of statements wants to be free of such themes, which also means to be beyond any kind of human sciences. (in this context: sociology, psychology, evolution of mentalities, look above!) Two pages later he writes about the 4 links: reading-trace-deciphering-remembrance, and they are definitively not connected to the analysis of statements. In general the whole passage in this chapter is dedicated to precise the aspects of analysis of statements. But now I understand very well, why you read this passages in connection to Derrida. Two sides before you quoted it is written: "There is no text below." The french original: "Il n'ya pas de texte d'en dessous." Sounds like Derrida, isn't it?

"it ['this other history'] can be purified in the problematic of the trace, which, prior to all speech, is the opening of inscription, the gap of deferred time, it is always the historico-transcendental theme that is reinvested". unfortunately, i'm having difficulty understanding the context surrounding this statement.. if he's summarizing a line of thought that he wishes to move beyond, or placing his analyses of the statement within this thought. help? loren At 08:24 PM 10/16/00 -0700, you wrote: >hi loren, > >try pages 104 and 105 of AK. -- dan smith > >At 06:39 PM 10/16/00 -0500, you wrote: > >there is a place in AK foucault specifically mentions the trace (in the > >derridian sense; or--probably in the derridian sense)..
