Teratology

Interventions

Jacques Derrida


The principle of taxonomic disorder can give rise to reasoned and ordered translations or else to comic collapses, which can sometimes be glimpsed in some course descriptions, in blurbs, sometimes in books. It is the serialization of things which are as heterogeneous but nonetheless in a relationship of contaminating and teratological coincorporation as psychoanalysis, poststructuralism, postmodernism, feminism, Marxism, etc. The teratology is our normality.
