Beyond the Echo:

These papers grow out of the ¿Text and Ideology¿ course I attended in GISS, Exeter College, the University of Oxford in 1989, under the tutorship of Dr. Thomas Docherty. The course indeed articulates a dramatic turning point in my intellectual orientation and interest; I have developed thereafter an exceptional interest in Literary Theory and the Modern Critical Discourse. I hope the reader will find out that I have managed to carve out a venue, however narrow, to posit certain ideas within the configuration of this problematical reappropriation of Macherey, Barthes, Derrida, Foucault, and Belsey whose positions have already animated the very process of writing itself.
