What's "post-modernism"? Doug

e-lists are really good example of phenomena that gang of four's jon king described to me quite a few years ago now as a dog returning to its own vomit... a possible answer to above might be: stenography of surfaces, no references or citations needed, in fact one can even make stuff up such as karl marx and the pirate jean lafitte strolling down a chelsea lane in the evening (no matter that lafitte had been dead for years prior to this - will provide citations upon request)... another possible answer might be: marx in the 18th brumaire, ironic and playful... still another might answer might be...oh hell, this could go on for long time, terry eagleton offers 16 different definitions of concept *ideology* in his book of that title, now eagleton is pretty critical of post-modernism but that seems pretty damn postmodern to me... as my friend bobbie likes to say: there are no truths except for *apparent* fact that there are no truths... think i'll go listen to veruca salt's *seether*... mh
