Who did originate in Paris. Big difference.
-
Not really. Their place of origin is not really the point except for how structuralists and May 1968 influenced them.
-
Yes their place of birth is an influence, Paris is very different from actual France. Even in Paris there are different schools of thought.
-
Geography is not really the point tho.
-
well, it should be taken into consideration. What if I said that Oxford was in London?
-
OK. If I say that Paris is different to the rest of France, how does this change the criticisms of postmodernism & its effects?
-
I'm not talking about that, I'm talking about the "French intellectuals" part, that's simply painting with a too broad brush.
-
The article is great, too bad actual french intellectuals have to be smeered with such an association.
