A single added word can both work and interrupt an expression’s meaning

Evidence

I have hence attempted to put to the test, with this discourse on mourning and farewell, another idiom which at the same time accords with the intentions of the author, in truth with the gift of what she is giving, to accept it, subscribe to it or countersign it and, at the same time hence, surprise (a little, perhaps) in this gift something to interrupt in the expression ‘to see (what is) coming’. To add one word, in all, only one word, in truth a strange word, a word at the same time of mourning and of salutation (farewell, farewell to oneself, farewell of God unto God) which enters in its turn in this double game of the ‘at the same time’, precisely where it works and at the same time interrupts the work of the expression ‘to see (what is) coming’, gives and receives plasticity, but also plastic explosives. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 149

• DEFINE: Derrida explains his method: countersigning the gift of a text while injecting a word that both serves and interrupts its central phrase - here ‘farewell’ against ‘to see (what is) coming’.
