Il n'y a pas de hors-texte (Jaques Derrida). Does ...
Ayling page 1 "Il n'y a pas de hors-texte " (Jaques derrida ). Does contemporary fiction tend to confirm or resist the notion that there is no "outside-the-text"? "The author should die once he has finished writing. So as not to trouble the path of the text"1. Umberto Eco's provocative pronouncement, made whilst he himself was writing Reflections on 'The Name of the Rose', represents part of the debate about the origin of meaning with regard to text. In this essay, I shall examine how Possession and The Name of the Rose both confirm and resist derrida 's claim that "Il n'y a pas de hors-texte "2. The thrust of my argument is that Byatt's work resists the assertion and that conversely, the overall effect of Umberto Eco's novel is to confirm the remark. It will be necessary first to explain what I understand derrida to have meant. I take "there is no "outside-the-text""3 to mean that the words within a text derive meaning, and the text receives meaning, not from a transcendental source, but from the relationships of the words within it to each other and the text to other texts.
