Yeah, well that stuff is definitely postmodern, except Goffman, who is bizarrely out of place there.

He also spelled Irigaray incorrectly! But again, the original claim - the first bit - could easily have been said by a Marcuse type. Not, in and of itself, postmodern, even if this fellow thinks he's been, or has been, inspired by postmodernism.

Yes, but your claim isn't that it was inspired by postmodernism - it was that it is recognisably postmodernist. That makes a difference.

I think we might just have to agree to disagree. For me, it's not about foundations, as such. It's about whether there's a coherent set of ideas that constitute a substantive philosophical/theoretical position that can be labeled "postmodernism".

For you, it's a label that designates a set of ideas and positions that don't necessarily cohere together, but which are dominant at this particular historical juncture. I think there are dangers in seeing it your way. You think my way misses the point!
