A discussion of Jacques Derrida's deconstructive practice, which seeks to identify "the supplement" to any origin story or set of claims in a text. What are the characteristics of this readerly practice? What motivates Derrida to make these kind of readerly, critical interventions? And where does deconstructive practice bring us as thinkers, critics, and readers - and perhaps even writers? It is to an anti-authoritarian place, a place oriented toward a future of multiplicity and refusal of origin stories, purity politics, and imperial principles of ethics and morality.
