That sounds interesting. I guess i have a number of comments. I'll start by
asking you to elaborate what you mean by reading 'the social space as a
text'. I can think of a variety of ways of seeing this - and i'm not sure
all of them are genealogy.

Subject: Re: Foucault & Derrida
Thanks for the responses. However, my question focuses more on whether
Derrida's reference to differance and the trace might replicate 2 origins
that seems to indicate a return to metaphysics.....It seems that this was
Foucault's critique of Derrida---It also seems that foucault critisizes the
shallow textual practice of deconstruction--that it ignores the specific
historical and political formations of a text or a particular origin. That
foucault is perhaps more concerned with not just dispelling origins and
binaries, but understanding how they are produced and in what context they
emerge-. I'm not saying I agree w/ foucault, it seems to be a knee-jerk
response, because it seems to me that if one reads the social space as a
text, then geneology and deconstruction would align themselves rather
nicely.
