"We do not know in fact what we are saying or naming in this way: September 11, le 11 septembre, September 11. The brevity of the appelation (September 11, 9/11) stems not only from an economic or rhetorical necessity. The telegram of this metonymy-a name, a number-points out the unqualifiable by recognizing that we do not recognize or even cognize that we do not yet know how to qualify, that we do not know what we are talking about."
Jacques Derrida
