You *can* summarize and rephrase the words of humanities experts.
That isn't the issue.
The issue is whether you can, as an expert editor, create new synthesis and  
analysis, never before published.
 
I suggested quoting, and paraphrasing, would make the article more  readable.
I never suggested that it be an article of quotes.
 
Surely we can figure out how to summarize Derida, or anyone else, without  
injecting too much of our own overt positioning into the summary.
