Mimesis perceived as muthos is thus a dynamic process, an activity, which can invent what Paul Ricoeur calls a “quasi-world” (xmas links of london sale)-as first-hand reference is abolished, a “second-hand reference” can come into being (Du texte à l’action 124-129). Thus, parody, the repetition with a difference of a hypotext, can be a “re-signifying” practice (Butler 13-14), an act of “re-vision,” a way of “entering an old text from a new critical perspective” (Rich 35), a re-writing “in terms of some fundamental master code” (Jameson 58 christmas gift). As Jacques Rancière explains in La Parole muette, the “autonomy” or “intransitivity” of literature, i. e. the fact that the written word can be cut off from its context, is what permits postrealist literature to re-write the world by “re-emplotting” it cheap Links of london Charms . Derrida has shown that the written word is fundamentally “iterable”: cut off from its original context of enunciation, it becomes a sort of “machine” that produces new meanings as it is grafted onto new contexts (”Signature” 377 links of london friendship Bracelet). A certain type of repetition can thus become “citational, breaking with the prior context of its utterance and acquiring new contexts for which it was not intended” (Butler 14 Disc charms).
