In thinking and researching about ‘Belonging’, ‘Boundaries’, ‘Transformation’ ‘Formation’
I have been looking at Derrida a lot, his exploration of ‘Differance’ ‘Trace’ Deconstruction’, ‘Spectres’ and ‘Hauntology’. I have now discovered Homi Bhabha. I see similarities of thought and approach, descriptions and models. I don’t know either work well enough to specifically state what exact differences or similarities they share. However I do feel the readings I have already made around Derrida - help me to being to approach Bhaba’s work.
I am also aware that Bhaba criticises Derrida’s work in falling short and failing to address Ethnocentricity and yet…
I do find the exploration of Space more specifically the third space and linguistics very interesting and return to my own enquiries to the language of art, navigation of change and the liminal.
Translation, Afterlife, Ghosts.
It’s a Rabbit hole I fear to go down, the depth of both authors work feels beyond me.
Translating transformation by documenting change. Looking back at the afterlife.
