POLYMORPHOUSLY
PERVERSE TEXTS
CAN CAUSE TEXTUALLY TRANSMITTED INFECTIONS
These texts deterritorialize and reterritorialize.
They take parts of us with them, infect us with the parts of others.
POLYMORPHOUS TEXTS
ARE US.
Derrida's misunderstood aphorism, "There is nothing outside of the text," warns us that there's no turning back: We cannot exist apart from text than a fish can exist apart from water. We are, obviously, more than text: the surplus of the text is the location of pleasure, an area we can never quite get to because we cannot get outside language to see ourselves.
Zizek relies on Lacan's notion of jouissance to explain how we work at the edges of ideological relations, almost but never quite able to exeeed them, pain in pleasure.
