I am in danger here of over-simplifying a political situation that has a complex history and digresses from my focus on Derrida but it seems relevant to this discussion of de centring, Derrida and hypertext.

Hypertext And Derrida I Link Therefore Am

I would argue that reconstruct-ion connects my understanding of hypertext to feminism and Derrida by reinterpreting the binary code 0 as the feminine, which is always bottom but not last. She is the base upon which the number 1 rests and she provides the trace that enables 1 (the masculine) to define himself in difference to the other. She is closer to God, I ...

Men And Women Gender Difference
1,760 wordsIssues of Gender The individual's sense of what it is to be masculine / feminine is derived, often directly from, and always at least in relation to, the operations of prevailing contemporary discourses - which themselves may or may not be explicitly gendered. These discourses create and offer "discursive subject positions"-epistemological spaces-for individuals to occupy, they bring about a kind of textual role-playing. Discourse is therefore never a closed system; although the power of discurs...

Positive Or Negative 1 And 2
760 wordsINTRODUCTION: Basic binary digits Complements COMPLEMENTS INTRODUCTION: Basic binary digits are described as UNSIGNED values. This is because if you look at the string of bits (zeros and ones) there is no indicator whether or not this value is positive or negative. You must use an additional symbol + or - to indicate the sign of the number. There are some types of number systems where you can determine the sign of number without using an addition symbol. You can tell whether it is positive or ne...

Gawain And The Green Knight Sir Gawain And The Green
2,715 wordsGawain and Binary Opposition As a contemporary American reader, it is all right to assume that the first scene in which the particular character is involved drastically shapes our opinion of characters in a particular novel or poem. Immediately we jump to conclusions about what is right and what is wrong, who is the good guy and who is the bad guy. In fact, once we get an initial impression from a character, it is unlikely that this opinion will change as we continue to read on, unless of course...

M P H Black Hole
3,742 wordsBlack holes are objects so dense that not even light can escape their gravity, and since nothing can travel faster than light, nothing can escape from inside a black hole. Loosely speaking, a black hole is a region of space that has so much mass concentrated in it that there is no way for a nearby object to escape its gravitational pull. Since our best theory of gravity at the moment is Einsteins general theory of relativity, we have to delve into some results of this theory to understand black ...
