Abstract
In this piece, I make two interconnected arguments that attempt a dislocation of temporality as an organizing apparatus of reality as normative. In using Derrida’s “Exordium” to Specters of Marx, I make the argument that crip theory should expound theory as an instantiation of self-theory–intending towards the self within and of theory yet never totalizing such theoretical explorations towards the universal. In another way, I make two subsequent arguments of time within/of cripped thought. First, crip time must explore itself as a social construction and bend itself towards the immanent and experiential for which I utilize Burroughs’ Naked Lunch as a movement towards/from naked time and junkie time Second, I make the interconnected argument that experience must additionally be made sensical outside of the explications of time as an organizing apparatus of sense, arguing towards “real”ities that are devoid of time as an organizing apparatus of being.
