Postmodernism is Dean's Stuffed Mouth.

Dec 06, 2007 00:32

Postmodernism kills my brain ded.

After the last day of Anthropological Theory, where we plunged into a two-hour discussion blitz of postmodern theory, I feel mentally drained. Like, numb. If you don't know what postmodernism is, let me break it down for you, Supernatural-style:

Postmodernism is Dean's stuffed mouth.

Is postmodernism still not dead? Damnit. I thought it was going to deconstruct itself to death, but it seems we will have to endure its caramelly, sickly sweet, dubious nutritional value for a little while longer...

Bravo!

its caramelly, sickly sweet, dubious nutritional value for a little while longer... is indeed an apt phrase describing postmodern caramels. "Dubious nutritional value," hehehehehehehehe. *giggle fit*

And I think it did deconstruct itself to death. I think we're in post-postmodernism. Well, at least anthropological theory has developed later theories reflecting on postmodernism, such as critiques of postmodernism (SHUT UP IT'S REALLY A TOWEL-STICK!) and totally seperate theories like the globalization, power and agency theoretical school.

And OMG MUST you use THAT as your icon? It's, like, 2:19 am here and it is dark and freaky enough without crazy distorted face CREEPING ME THE FUCK OUT. But I get it, hehe.

Sorry about the creepy-ass icon!

Let's all agree to throw relativism and postmodernism out the window. Some things ARE just better than others!

Answer the First: I was up that late finishing the essay about my study of gender in the Supernatural fandom. And I have no idea how my brain is still working.

Answer the Second: I am glad I could teach Postmodernism through Deanism.

Answer the Third: I also prefer the pretty man short and sweet version. Especially after a solid week of essays, tests with essays, reading abstract stuff constantly like postmodernism, combing through literal piles of anthropological journal articles (including one on bottle recycling practices from the late 18th to early 20th century), and just general grind from citation, citation, citation.

I want shallow right now. What I wouldn't give for one of moondropz's lovely "Jensenization" picspams. All unabashshed oogling.

Deanism.....Love it!

Wait your tell me that people recyced way back when? If they did it not cause they where earth loves. It was likely more like we aint go nothing so less reuse what we got.

She post a nice picspam last night.

Yeah I saw and ingested the picspam with lovely shallow relish. Mmmm...oogling.

It wasn't recycling so much as glassware was made by hand = expensive, and so people/companies wanted to retain/reclaim the bottles. So yeah, it is "likely more like we aint got nothing so less reuse what we got."
