Beschreibungen/Notizen
I propose to read Freud's Non Vixit dream after Derrida's "My Chances," and via Shakespeare's Julius Caesar ana James Strachey's "mistranslation" of Klang as "cadence." Strachey's translation seems to mirror Freud's own reluctance to acknowledge the importance of sound in the dream work of Non Vixit, a reluctance that, as I will argue, goes hand in hand with his disinclination to dwell on the importance of chance in his interpretation of the said dream. I will finally put forth the hypothesis that, despite Freud's avoidances, it is precisely in this correspondence between sound and chance that one of his most important, yet still largely unexamined, influences on Derrida lies.
