Erasure

Derrida adopted from Heidegger the strategy of writing 'sous rature' which involved printing a word with crossed lines through it, leaving the original word legible, thus: Being. This was intended to indicate that although the term was deeply problematic it was still necessary to use it. It alludes to the issue of linguistic determinism.
