Thus, the text refers itself and its sense-effects back to the arbitrariness of its elements and their combinatorics. Moreover, at the margins of the book, it feigns to be abandoned to the contingency of its preliteral physis which is suppressed by sense, authority, authorship and control of the work.deuCreative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 3.0 GenericTextKombinatorikKontingenzMaterialität400410Jean Paul10.28937/100010750110.25969/mediarep/18450LEBEN FIBELS, DES VERFASSERS DER BIENRODISCHEN FIBEL1869-1366
