Say yes? Say Yes!

I love Derrida: this is some stuff from his "Ulysses Gramophone: Hear Say Yes in Joyce."

"Joyce experts are the representatives as well as the effects of the most powerful project for programming the totality of research in the onto-logico-encyclopedic field for centuries."

"Everything that happened to me, including the narrative that I would attempt to make of it, was already predicted and pre-narrated in its dated singularity, prescribed in a sequence of knowledge and narration, within Ulysses, to say nothing of Finnegans Wake, by a hypermnesic machine capable of storing in an immense epic work, along with the memory of the West and virtually all the languages in the world up to and including traces of the future. Yes, everything has already happened to us with Ulysses amd has been signed in advance by Joyce."

"This is what I call the gramophone effect. Yes gramophones itself and, a priori, telegramophones itself.

The desire for memory and the mourning of the word yes set in motion the anamnesic machine. And its hypermnesic overacceleration. The machine reproduces the quick, it doubles it with its automaton."
