There is no such thing as an absolutely
proper meaning of a word, which is not
made possible by the very impropriety of
metaphorical displacement it seeks to

syntactic reference beyond that
circumscribed by proper meaning is a
material force. The imposition of a
conclusive, self-identical meaning that
 transcends the seriality of displacement is
therefore metaphysical or idealist. Its
political equivalent is the absolute state (be

on the displaceability of power through
sedition. The political equivalent of
displacement—that force deconstruction
foregrounds against absolutist philosophies
of identity—is continuous and plural
revolutions, the openness of material
forces which exceeds the imposition of
power.
