For, even as writing on someone, even in homage, is always already a writing on, writing over, perhaps even a writing-out of someone, it is also an addition of, an adding of, something onto; where writing is a scratching into a surface, at the very same time as something is scratched out of a material, from a medium.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThus, \u003cem\u003ewriting on JB, about JB\u003c\/em\u003e, is quite possibly literally \u003cem\u003ewriting JB's disappearance\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd, where what is read, can be read, is perhaps what allows itself to be seen, to be glimpsed at -- the remains of the skin which comes to us; the \u003cem\u003esimulacrum\u003c\/em\u003e, as it were.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhere the very disappearance happens in the appearance: otherwise we could not even know of its possibility.
