Reinventing invention

In this paper, I undertake a reading of Jacques Derrida's concept of invention in his essay, 'Psyche: Invention of the Other,' and its focus on Francis Ponge's poem 'Fable' as an exemplar of deconstruction's inventiveness. I make an argument for time as a force that in opening to difference displaces truth, the subject, and narration, inventing a moment of the potential transformation of these conventional priorities.
