Postmodernist theory, as applied to the study of history, makes my head hurt.
That's all.
Of course, according to postmodernist thought, you could read the above message in any way you like. And every reading would be equally valid.

Argh. Die, Foucault, die. I want to go back to nice, cuddly Ranke.
Edit: Y'know, TEL had it easy when he was doing his degree. He didn't have either world war. And, most importantly, the lucky bastard didn't have postmodernism.
