„Le temps de l’histoire se prêterait moins, je le répète, au double jeu agile de la synchronie et de la diachronie : il ne permet guère d’imaginer la vie comme un mécanisme dont on peut arrêter le mouvement pour en présenter, à loisir, une image immobile.“ (p. 749) #Braudel #temps #histoire

Derrida: Festival and Incest
Zitat
„What follows the festival? The age of the supplement, of articulation, of signs, of representatives. That is the age of the prohibition of incest. Before the festival, there was no incest because there was no prohibition of incest and no society. After the festival there is no more incest because it is forbidden.“ (p. 263) #Derrida #festival #incest
Derrida: The Festival
Zitat
„The festival itself would be incest itself if some such thing – itself – could take place; if, by taking place, incest were not to confirm the prohibition: before the prohibition, it is not incest; forbidden, it cannot become incest except through the recognition of the prohibition. We are always short of or beyond the limit of the festival, of the origin of society, of that present within which simultaneously the interdict is (would be) given with the transgression: that which passes (comes to pass) always and (yet) never properly takes place. It is always as if I had committed incest.“ (p. 267) #Derrida #festival #incest
Rousseau: Le temps
Zitat
„Dans cet âge heureux où rien ne marquait les heures, rien n’obligeait à les compter: le temps n’avait d’autre mesure que l’amusement et l’ennui.“ (p. 136) #Rousseau #temps
Derrida: Das Fest und der Inzest
Zitat
„Vor dem Fest gab es keinen Inzest, weil es kein Inzestverbot und keine Gesellschaft gab. Nach dem Fest gibt es keinen Inzest mehr, weil er verboten ist. […] Das Fest selbst wäre der Inzest selbst, wofern etwas Derartiges – selbst – stattfinden könnte“. (p. 451/457, passim) #Derrida #Fest #Inzest #Inzestverbot
