A discursive analysis of how the Fourfold is at play in prevailing discursive exchanges and structures will thus be a matter of situating ourselves in a conceptual space beyond existing practices and structures, from which we get a picture of their inadequacies. As such, the article contributes to a critical understanding of discourse analysis. It will be argued that through understanding the Fourfold, we can better understand the problems with various aspects of ‘measuring’, which are founded upon the (concealed) instability of elements of the Fourfold – which shapes practical discursive engagements.

The visibility of the silence between the turns (i) can be a resource for increased awareness of how communicative exchanges are shaped by self-arrangements and -presentations. The dissolution of the separation between present and previous statements (ii) can be a source for unfruitful quarrels.},

In this paper I seek to deconstruct internet-based communication. I highlight Derrida’s focus on the margins and in-betweens of communication, and relate it to the genre of e-mail. I argue (i) that the silence between the dialogic turns becomes more marked, while (ii) the separation of present and previous statements becomes less marked. The visibility of the silence between the turns (i) can be a resource for increased awareness of how communicative exchanges are shaped by self-arrangements and -presentations. The dissolution of the separation between present and previous statements (ii) can be a source for unfruitful quarrels.

I denne artikel overfører forfatteren Derridas analyser af skriftligheden til e-mailen. Forfatteren viser at e-mail teknologien på den ene side bærer på nogle strukturer, der potentielt kan gøre os mere bevidste om tavshedens betydning for kommunikationen (pga. følelsen af udsathed mellem de enkelt led); og at den på den anden side også kan tilhylle denne tavshedens betydning, ved at man kan bygge bro mellem de enkelte indlæg, ved at forholde sig rigidt til tidligere indlæg. Begge aspekter ved e-mailen kan bruges til at få større indsigt i fundamentale forhold ved kommunikative relationer.
