Who will use the obvious "Derrida Deconstructs!" headline, I wonder? Thinking of the many connections between advertising copy and poetry, ---- Exactly. Incidentally, I was reading that on one occasion Cambridge (England) faculty protested against honouring Derrida with a doctorate or something. The note did not specify if the protest was successful, though. I suppose, via, implicature, it was. It is not said in the obituary if he had family in Paris. I wonder who will take care of the funeral, etc. -- but Geary should know about that.
