„Rousseau’s festival excludes play. The moment of the festival is the moment of pure continuity, of in-differance between the time of desire and the time of pleasure. Before the festival, in the state of pure nature, there is no experience of the con­tinuous; after the festival the experience of the discontinuous begins; the festival is the model of the continuous experience.“ (p. 263) #Derrida #Rousseau #festival #continuity
