Unreferenced date December 2009 Orphan date December 2009 Archi writing is a term used by Jacques Derrida Derrida in his attempt to re orient the relationship between speech and writing. As far back as Plato , speech had been always given priority over writing. In the West, phonetic writing was instead considered as a secondary imitation of speech, a poor copy of the immediate living act of speech. Later, Jean Jacques Rousseau Rousseau and Ferdinand de Saussure Saussure both gave writing a secondary or parasitic role. In Derrida s essay Plato s Pharmacy , he sought to question this prioritising by firstly complicating the two terms speech and writing. One can immediately see this complication in the Greek word pharmakon , which meant both cure and poison. Plato maintained that writing was poisonous to memory, it weakens the memory since writing is a mere repetition, as compared to the living memory required for speech. Derrida points out however, that since both rely upon repetition they cannot be completely distinguished. The neologism archi writing , archi meaning origin, principle or telos , attempts to go beyond the simple division of writing speech. It refers to a kind of writing that precedes both speech and writing. Archi writing is, in a sense, language, in that it is already there before we use it, it already has a pregiven, yet malleable, structure genesis, which is a semi fixed set up of different words and syntax. This fixedness is the writing to which Derrida refers, just such a writing can even be seen in cultures that do not employ writing , it could be seen in notches on a rope or barrel, fixed customs, or placements around the living areas.

Packet writing technology achieves this by writing data in incremental blocks rather than in a single block. The most common file system for packet writing systems is the Universal Disk Format UDF format. Deleting files and directories of a CD R using packet writing technology does not recover the space occupied by these objects but are simply marked as being deleted. Similarly, changes to files cause new instances to be created instead of replacing the original files. Because of this, the available space on a medium using packet writing technology will slowly diminish every time its content is modified. For rewritable discs, however, this doesn t necessarily occur there exists technology that allows them to be used as truly removable storage media, fully and freely writable see Universal Disk Format UDF .

Interactive writing is a method used in literacy teaching , especially for young children, whereby the students have the opportunity to practice their reading, studying and writing skills in a safe and creative environment. In this method the teacher s and students write to each other, by means of letters, dialogue journals or a message board. The students are free to choose the topic and the length of their writings. The teachers respond without correcting or criticising the spelling, grammar or writing style, but rather modelling more appropriate forms of writing. The aim of this method is to allow children to see literacy as something meaningful and enjoyable, rather than a mind numbing school activity. The focus is on fluency rather than accuracy. The principle behind it is write to learn, not learn to write . As such it relates to the learner centered whole language approach.
