Date: Sat, 20 Jun 1998 21:18:41 PDT I'd agree with Matthew about the problems with the term and its multiple uses. I don't consider it a term that has much practical or analytic value either - it's not a concept that extends much of an insight The most valuable discussion of the term for my money is Lyotards, in the first chapter of "The Postmodern explained to children", where he rejects the temporal understanding of the 'post-', and locates it as part of the movement of the modern. ~Jon ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
