One of the definitions of what is called deconstruction would be the effort to take this limitless context into account, to pay the sharpest and broadest attention possible to context, and thus to an incessant movement of recontextualization. The phrase which for some has become a sort of slogan, in general so badly understood, of deconstruction ("there is nothing outside the text" [il n'ya pas de hors-texte]), means nothing else: there is nothing outside context', ibid.

We can find an anticipation of this discussion of commodity fetishism in Derrida's work on Heidegger. Here Geist is 'opposed to the thing, to the metaphysical determination of thing-ness, and above all to the thingification of the subject …. Spirit is not the thing, spirit is not the body' :

There is a tendency for this in, Unless hegemony is also connected to the articulation of groups and interests and to the conservation or transformation of social structures (economic and political as well as ideological) the articulation will lack both material and strategic grounding and hegemony ceases to be an explanatory social concept
