dubdobdeestuff you don't expect to be referenced in a book ("politics of friendship") by j.derrida = FRANK HERBERT'S fkn DUNE
ok turns out "the atreides" is also* a homeric term for agamemnon and menelaus (viz the "sons of atreus") --- whence mr herbert nabbed it, no doubt
*(ie besides being the family name of many of the key characters in the dune series)
ps i finally looked up "aporia" and found out it actually isn't a synonym for "lacuna", which is how i always had it tagged in my head
