If I were . . .



teaching some kind of group introduction to postmodernism, this might be a good primer. Very accessible. Uses quasi-popular films (Memento, probably the quintessential postmodern movie, is one) to introduce Derrida, Foucault, and Lyotard to a lay Christian audience.

percolating. is this an available see? i should, since i've dodged and shared dodgy collisions with deconstructionists, reader response folk, and new historicists...i'm not even sure i know what a postmodernist is. i once tried to make a 'wave-graph' of interpretive traditions of media, and realised i probably erred on the philological structuralist side of things, but found a happy medium with narratology and space-time theory.
