Derrida...Visor

Jacques Derrida on the visor effect of the specter with reference to Hamlet:
"The specter is not simply this visible invisible that I can see, it is someone who watches or concerns me without any possible reciprocity, and who therefore makes the law when I am blind, blind by situation. The specter enjoys the right of absolute inspection. He is the right of inspection itself."
['Spectrographies']
