520 |a The place of the secret in Derrida's thought has some interesting implications for recent ‘theological’ appropriations of his work—particularly those with a Christian agenda. The aim of this brief article is to express a nagging unease with recent Christian responses to Derrida, an unease borne out of a certain understanding of the ineluctably Nietzschean genealogy of deconstruction, in particular Derrida's several comments on the s/Secret. What this paper proposes is that deconstruction is simultaneously a work of both demystification and remystification—it locates and dissolves the moments of self-presence in a text only to leave in their place a semantic void, one which liberates the text from its single destination and allows it to drift, rudderless, in an infinte number of directions.
