Re any discussion involving Derrida/ Blanchot, one should keep in mind
that BlAnchot is the elder, is in fact a core source for Derrida et
alii -- & deconstructive thinking. Blanchot's writings of the forties
& fifties were essential prefugartions, opening up the space in which
JD could think & write in the sixties & seventies. (Though obviously
one must guard from a too simplistic thinking of diachronic influence)
