"These Parerga are not integral parts of the book; they 'do not belong within' 'religion in the limits of pure reason,' they 'border upon' it. I stress this for reasons which are in part theo-topological, even theo-architectonic: these Parerga situate perhaps the fringe where we might be able, today, to inscribe our reflections."

Derrida, "Faith and Knowledge" (1996)

critical gestures

To Be Liked By You Would Be A Calamity

"Attack is more piquant than concord," but when

You tell me frankly you would like to feel

My flesh beneath your feet,

I'm all abroad; I can put my weapon up, and

Bow you out.

Gesticulation--it is half the language,

Let unsheathed gesticulation be the steel

Your courtesy must meet,

Since in your hearing words are mute, which

To my senses

Are a shout.

Marianne Moore
