Ahhh!  The perfect question, and precisely the moment at which 
Baudrillard's theories are more "post" than "post", because the subject 
still roams the halls.  Maybe he is dead, but he has not disappeared.  I 
"purposely do them on this here list" because no one else will 
listen/read them anywhere else.  "The desire of the other" and all that 
rot.  We still suffer from the lingering effects and affects of that 
great metaFreudian phenomenal called psychoanalysis.  Fortunately, we are 
not subjects proper, but the new hyper-subjects, 
listsubjects-AT-void.edu.com.  


Long live horror,
