      I start writing my book on Friday. I have just ordered a load of books to the British Library to get started on research for Chapter One. Foucault and Derrida and Jameson mostly this week. I am so excited right now.pic.twitter.com/QrWksiomeW

      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.

          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.

          In all honesty, and with much goodwill, Helen -- good luck with your book. That is a brave undertaking.
