    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trace_(deconstruction)

    According to Derrida, "Différance is the non-full, non-simple "origin"; it is the structured and differing origin of differences".

    In Derrida's words, "structural discourse on myths—mythological discourse—must itself be mythomorphic". [22] Lévi-Strauss explicitly describes a limit to totalization (and at the same time the endlessness of 'supplementarity'). Thus Lévi-Strauss, for Derrida, recognizes the structurality of mythical structure and gestures towards its ...
