I'm familiar with the argument. It confuses and conflates ideas & politics that are quite different. But I don't have time to respond here.

It would be great to see a response to points from the peice in any form you prefer. It's a subject I've become very interested in.

Don't have time tho happy to do so. These are old debates that presume folks actually care what old French lit theorists say (they don't).

I explicitly said that most don't & cited Kenan Malik & David Detmer saying so.

The ppl who do are the theorists in intersectionality, postcolonialism & queer theory who cite them.

You might find Jonathan Gottschall & his liberationist paradigm (cultural constructivism) interesting on this @nole_schuyler

He talks abt how many academics will say pomo is dead but have internalised it. My own observations bear this out

The David Detmer is also full of current examples & following @RealPeerReview will show how prevalent this still is.
