"Well, I dreamed I saw the silver spaceships flying in the yellow haze of the sun.

There were children crying AND COLORS FLYING all around the chosen ones.

All in a dream, all in a dream the loading had begun.

They were flying mother nature's silver seed to a new home in the sun."

Neil Young, 1970

Trace is one of the most important concepts in Derridian deconstruction.

In French, the word "trace" has a range of meanings similar to those of its English equivalent, but also suggests meanings related to the English words "track", "path", or "mark".

Trace can be seen as an always contingent term for a "mark of the absence of a presence, an always-already absent present".

Derrida’s concept of "trace" is quite similar to Heidegger’s concept of Dasein, although from different perspectives. Here, we see the relationship between Heideggerian existentialism and Derridian concept of "trace", which, in turn, will also work as an indicator of a very close relationship between existentialism and deconstruction.

Derrida’s first indebtedness to Heidegger lies in his use of the notion of sous rature (‘under erasure’). To write 'Under erasure' is to write a word, cross it out, and then print both word and deletion.


„ ... paint both:  form and deletion!“

   "lost" details

Disclose concealed meanings that create new possibilities for imaginative expression.

" The guiding insight of deconstruction is that every structure -- be it literary, psychological, social, economic, political or religious -- that organizes our experience is constituted and maintained through acts of exclusion. In the process of creating something, something else inevitably gets left out.

... transparent truth and absolute values elude our grasp.

In a complex world, wisdom is knowing what we don't know

so that we can keep the future open."

Quotes: What Derrida Really Meant, by Mark C. Taylor, New York Times, Oct. 14, 2004wisdom is knowing what we don't know so that we can keep the future open.
