POLYMORPHOUSLY
PERVERSE TEXTS
ASK US TO TAKE
THEM APART
AND PUT THEM BACK TOGETHER.

(PLEASE.)

Polymorphously perverse texts require our participation. Simply watching the text is voyeurism. And merely taking it apart is anarchy.

Deconstruction was always (already) about reconstruction, remaking, the tension between one and the other. Jacques Derrida seemed happiest when he created little texts that dis- and reassembled John Searle's texts.

Tellingly (or possibly apocryphally), when Derrida contacted Searle for permission to reproduce Searle's contributions to the dialogue, Searle refused permission (as cited in Nericcio, 2007, p. 102).
