Magalhães, Juliana Neuenschwander, and José Antonio Rego Magalhães. “Law, Institutions, and Interpretation in Jacques Derrida.” Revista Direito GV 13, no. 2 (August 2017): 586–607. https://doi.org/10.1590/2317-6172201723.
but have yet to upload, and it made me think that one of the things i am trying to say about interpretation here in this piece is that there is always a violence to it, which is usually either ignored or disavowed, and which "grounded theory" or other less disguised forms of positivism (and we definitely depend on the binary of interpretivism/positivism) are all about denying.  and yet, Magalhaes and Magalhaes also say that interpretation is not simply affirmation (there is also the discovery/invention binary in another article I need to get to here, the one Lindsay foregrounded). so maybe we say we don;t interpret via gronded theory but we interpret via deconstruction, which works the binary otherwise and pays attention to violence (not exactly but...)  Or: "The truly particular consequences of Derrida’s thought for the very contemporary question of law and violence can only show themselves in the aporetic economy between hermeneutics and affirmation that we tried to describe in this paper."
