1. A post on a comment of Derrida's on architecture in his very nice 1986 essay "Point de folie—maintenant l'architecture."2. A post on the "volume" of deconstruction and its architects, with a look at Bernard Tschumi's Parc Villette, Peter Eisenman's Wexner Center, Berlin Holocaust Memorial, and Center for Culture in Spain, and Daniel Liebeskind's just-opened Contemporary Jewish Museum in San Francisco, with a denunciation of the "Freedom Tower" and revenge as the formal principle of that building.
3. Perhaps (if I have time) a post on Sarah Kofman's treatment of Ecce Homo in Explosions.
4. A post on close reading as fast reading, not slow, patient, familiarity with words on the page—that is, on close reading as distant reading, and its differences or similarities with a reading machine. Technical or even mechanized hermeneutics, in short.

Mike, we're discussing in this post Sloterdijk's somewhat strange affirmation (in his Critique of Cynical Reason) that there is a new left, a Heideggerian one.
I've been reading your posts on Zizek on Heidegger in political terms and would really like to know what you think on this regard.
I don't know if you have read Sloterdijk's assertion which appears right before the phenomenological part of his Critique...
You can always comments in English if you feel like doing so...
Ok, I meant this post...
