The use of linguistic templates such as the anagram, palindrome and panagram accelerates a form’s capacity to add to verbal content, to camouflage it and to act as crude visual matter. The tests have examined the formal, aesthetic and symmetrical appearance of letters and words, in the spirit of post-structuralist interpretation, which views the text as a weave of interrelated signs in an expanding network of meanings.
Derrida himself noted the etymological connection between text and texture, conceiving of a text whose materiality resembles that of a cloth. An additional argument made by Derrida, “There is no outside-text,” underscores the materiality and bodily character of language. The text always exceeds its frame, which changes in accordance with different interpretations and encounters with textured weaves composed of other signs.
