The concept of nested opposition avoids these difficulties; the reliability of a conceptual opposition depends on theOriginally posted by LiL_LaDy
context in which it is understood and the purposes to which it is put. In some interpretive contexts, the opposition is useful and makes sense;
while in others it does not. The recurrent error that deconstructive arguments identify is the overextension of conceptual
distinctions to new contexts and new purposes where they may be inoperable, obstruct understanding, and promote
injustice. But deconstruction does not argue for the destruction of all conceptual oppositions. The latter view is not only incorrect,
but incoherent, for deconstructive arguments implicitly rely on conceptual oppositions to do their work.
The notion of a nested opposition is related to another important deconstructive concept: iterability. Iterability is the ability of a sign to be repeated again
in a new context. When a sign is repeated in a new context, it takes on a new set of cultural meanings and associations,
which are both similar to and different from the previous incarnations. Thus, the iteration of the same sign in a new
context creates a nested opposition between the two significations. In repetition the same text occurs twice, but its meanings are partially
different. Thus, repetition always creates the possibility of a divergence or opposition within a unity of meaning, because
new contexts reveal new and different cultural associations. Derrida sums up this phenomenon in his aphorism that "iterability alters."(13)
One application of the principle of iterability is the phenomenon of "ideological drift." Politicians and theorists alike continually make arguments
that appeal to abstract policies and principles. But when a policy or principle is repeated over and over again in new
cultural surroundings, its meanings and cultural associations begin to change, and hence its political valence begins to
shift.(14) A good example is the trope of colorblindness in equal protection law. In 1896 (the year of Justice Harlan's famous dissent in Plessy
v. Ferguson(15)) colorblindness was a radical assertion of racial equality; by 1996 it had become the rallying cry of racial conservatives. The social context in which the trope of
colorblindness appeared had changed in the intervening years. As a result, liberals who supported affirmative action and conservatives who
opposed it could both claim to be heirs of Martin Luther King and his dream of an America where children were judged not by the color of their skin but the
content of their character. For liberals, King's appeal to colorblindness in the 1960's was a call for an end to racial subordination in all of its forms, while for conservatives the
trope of colorblindness applied to the advantage of whites as well as blacks. Liberals thought that the trope had outlived its usefulness when it was no longer connected to the
project of ending racial subordination, while conservatives claimed that it continued to embody a fundamental principle of political fairness, as valid now as a hundred years ago.
The phenomenon of ideological drift is related to the multivalent meanings of a tradition, and to the important connections between tradition and betrayal. The
phenomenon of ideological drift guarantees that the concrete exemplars and symbols of a tradition will take on
multiple and conflicting meanings over time. As a result, different groups can claim to be faithful adherents of the tradition and yet wish to continue it in
radically different ways. Traditions are thus the result of interpretive struggles between adherents all of whom claim to be faithful to the tradition.
However, each group wishes to consolidate and continue it in ways that seem like a betrayal from the perspective of the other camps. We might say then, that the seeming unity of
any tradition is actually, on closer inspection, a complicated set of nested oppositions, whose conflicts appear only with the passage of time and the arrival of new circumstances.
Traditions often try to submerge and suppress their multiple meanings, enshrining some interpretations as
orthodoxy and banishing others as heresy. Yet the multiplicity of meanings, and the instability of interpretations
continue to emerge incessantly as the tradition travels through history./Comment

listen to yourself talk sometime, you'll be suprised how naturally fast people are
you just learn how to sort of zone out and still read, and when you get really into it (this is my 6th year debating, started in 7th grade) you even sort of learn how to annunciate (words like genocide, false, impact, massive, death etc) so it sounds like you're passionately reading even though you're not even zoned in
sort of like how ive been postingComment
