Abstract(s)
By claiming a general graphematic structure of every communication, Derrida builds a critique
to traditional notions of unified or stable meaning, attacking the paradigm that sees in
communication a phonocentric and self-sufficient attempt to seize meaning in an adequately,
clear and understandable way from one point to the other.
Anything functioning as means of communication must possess, in its iterability, the structure
of writing. Indeed, communication is a kind of writing. In consequence, it may be examined
according to the central notions of Différance, Supplement or Dissemination. The graphematic
turn, in effect, opens the path to exam communication according to a de-centered paradigm.
This chapter exploresthis assumption having in mind the relations between communication and
metacommunication. We argue communication is always escaping us. It is permanently
traveling along different paths of meaning happening between the lines. So, there is not
beginning and no end. Anything more than communication would just be more communication.
Metacommunication is, thus, the endless cycle of communication’s self-differentiation. It
supplements communication and it is also supplemented by it.
