Ohh what's it about??

Postmodernism, successive waves of theory and how this entered social justice activism and mainstream politics and why it matters.
-
Great and, at the same time, ambitious project. Good luck. Will you be reading e.g. Jacques Derrida himself (in French) or use secondary sources? JD is difficult to understand, let alone reduce to a formula.
-
I am aware of that. I will not be attempting a summary of his thought. I am interested in which of his ideas have been adopted & adapted by later theorists, how they manifest in scholarship & in activism. See Claim: There is much more to postmodernism than its critics present...
-
Thanks a lot for link. Excellent article. Are you familiar with J. Culler’s “Deconstruction. Theory & Criticism after Structuralism”? Presented there are a number of Derrida’s interpretive strategies later weaponised and grotesquely simplified by SJW & intersectional activists.
-
Thank you. It's a bit old but I will have a look.

Originally published in 1982. It shows how post-structuralist thought was received & understood in America. It presents the tool box, the armamentarium of thinking, according to non-propositional logic. Subsequent developments into SJW activism etc. becomes quite clear, I think.

When do you think it will be published? I literally cannot wait. This seems to be a take down of post modernism scholars?
-
Autumn 2019, hopefully. It will be fair, I hope. I will be presenting the good and the bad, but you know where I come down on the issue.
-
And, thank you!
