Haynes and Holmevik on the chiasmus:
Time to secede from the union of the crossroads. We
have in mind the crossing of a chiasmus, which, as a deconstructive
move, involves a double gesture. Derrida (1981) explained that overturning
a hierarchy, in which one model governs the other, is not just an attempt
to invert the termsfollowing the overthrow, one marks the interval
between the inversion of the two terms, releasing the emergence of a new concept
not "included in the previous regime" (pp. 41-42 [in Derrida]).
In this moment, in our present, we suggest the concept of synchronicity
as what has not been included in the previous regime of publication. (216) -ddd
