Otpor materijala: teorijska vlast nad književnim tekstom
Resistance of Material: Theoretical Mastery over the Literary Text

Summary/Abstract: After a brief account of Derrida’s notion of singul arity as an irreducible, quasi-material layer of (literary) texts, this article attempts to delineate its effects on theoretical or scientific mastery over literature. Invention and law are exam ined as necessary but mutually cancelling origins of aesthetic and scientific institutions, and the final chapter – following Derrida’s Ulysse gramophone – questions the limits of theoretical competence in collision with the incalculable swerve of literarity.
