Sublating representational transcendence signals the concept’s triumph over self-presence

Evidence

To engage in analytical and interpretative activity with a full awareness of the circularity of determinate Being is then the articulation of authentic Dasein. In its broad outlines, this might seem sympathetic to the deconstructive project. In its detail, a certain rewriting becomes necessary. Iterability, as I have indicated, takes away the possibility of a full awareness. It rewrites the enclosure of the circle as, at best, an ellipse that stands in for the impossibility of pure or geometric figuration. The end of the project—the articulation of authentic Dasein—becomes impossible because authenticity—Eigentlichkeit (ownness, properness, literalness, trueness)— is at the limit a denial of the lack of self-identity which Heidegger himself posits and which in Derrida becomes irreducible. — Donna Landry and Gerald MacLean, The Spivak Reader, 767 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
