12. Derrida “defines” his “term” as follows: “Ce qui s’écrit différance, ce sera donc le mouvement de jeu qui ‘produit,’ par ce qui n’est pas simplement une activité, ces différences, ces effets de différence,” Jacques Derrida, “La Différance,” in Marges de la Philosophie (Paris: Éditions de Minuit, 1972), 12; cf. also see “Différance,” in Margins of Philosophy, trans. Alan Bass (Chicago, IL: University of Chicago Press, 1985), 11.
