The Gifting Logos. E. Johanna Hartelius
“Signature, Event, Context” was first published in English in a volume of Glyph.39 The second volume of the year featured an article by John Searle, in which he critiques what he considers to be Derrida’s misreadings of J. L. Austin’s linguistics. In his published reply, “Limited Inc abc.,” Derrida deconstructs his own as well as Searle’s status as owners of their words and texts. He notes, “the difficulty I encounter in naming the definite origin, the true person responsible for the Reply: not only because of the debts acknowledged by John R. Searle before even beginning to reply, but because of the entire, more or less anonymous tradition of a code, a heritage, a reservoir of arguments to which he and I are indebted.”40 To illustrate that all writing exists in reference to other writing—that is, in quotation marks, or as a copyright violation—Derrida puts “copyright © 1977 by John R. Searle” first in quotation marks, then in another set of quotation marks, and then another.41 Copyright laws and theories notwithstanding, the text is always “separated at birth from the assistance of its father.”42 No use of language, no authorship, no relationship between a text and its author, Derrida insists, is free from the complications of contagion.
