Hоw might Derridа respоnd tо one of the following pаssаges from Robert Cover's "Nomos and Narrative." You may select a different passage from the Cover excerpts I provided (see Supplementary reading in Files). You are free to reference any other assigned text, but please keep your primary focus on Cover and Derrida. 1) “There is a radical dichotomy between the social organization of law as power and the organization of law as meaning. This dichotomy, manifest in folk and underground cultures in even the most authoritarian societies, is particularly open to view in a liberal society that disclaims control over narrative. The uncontrolled character of meaning exercises a destabilizing influence upon power. Precepts must "have meaning," but they necessarily borrow it from materials created by social activity that is not subject to the strictures of provenance that characterize what we call formal lawmaking. Even when authoritative institutions try to create meaning for the precepts they articulate, they act, in that respect, in an unprivileged fashion.” 2) “Creation of legal meaning entails, then, subjective commitment to an objectified understanding of a demand. It entails the disengagement of the self from the "object" of law, and at the same time requires an engagement to that object as a faithful "other." The metaphor of separation permits the allegory of dedication. This objectification of the norms to which one is committed frequently, perhaps always, entails a narrative - a story of how the law,- now object, came to be, and more importantly, how it came to be one's own. Narrative Is the literary genre for the objectification of value.” 3) “Every legal order must conceive of itself in one way or another as emerging out of that which is itself unlawful. […] The discontinuity that is appealed to may be purely fictitious, wholly mythic, or scientifically historical. We may point to a theophany, a revolution, a migration, a catastrophe. But whether the narrative device is that of Robinson Crusoe, the Pilgrim Fathers, the conquest of Canaan, or Mount Sinai, the sacred beginning always provides the typology for a dangerous return. Revelation and (to a lesser extent) prophecy are the revolutionary challenges to an order founded on revelation. Secession is the revolutionary response to an order founded on consent or social contract. The return to foundational acts can never be prevented or entirely domesticated.” 4) "Legal precepts and principles are not only demands made upon us by society, the people, the sovereign, or God. They are also signs by which each of us communicates with others. There is a difference between sleeping late on Sunday and refusing the sacraments, between having a snack and desecrating the fast of Yom Kippur, between banking a check and refusing to pay your income tax. In each case an act signifies something new and powerful when we understand that the act is in reference to a norm. […] But the capacity of law to imbue action with significance is not limited to resistance or disobedience. Law is a resource in signification that enables us to submit, rejoice, struggle, pervert, mock, disgrace, humiliate, or dignify [emphasis mine].”
