It is indeed good ol' Jacques. (And this one is a reference to Frederic Jameson via another theorist, who wrote--and I can't make this stuff up--"an egg is 'contradictory' with itself insofar as it already contains the not-egg or negation-of-egg (the Hegelian or dialectical chicken) it will become when hatched.")
