the legacy being what? jokes on s&b? one just wonders why this thing is taken to be as interesting, at least, as lady gaga, whom the students told me is very important in their lifestyle... ________________________________ From: "Jlsperanza@xxxxxxx" <Jlsperanza@xxxxxxx> To: lit-ideas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, May 5, 2013 5:16 AM Subject: [lit-ideas] Re: The De-Exctinction of Post-Modernism In a message dated 5/4/2013 5:54:28 P.M. UTC-02, omarkusto@xxxxxxxxx<mailto:omarkusto@xxxxxxxxx> writes: that most of the dominant thinkers and writers of postmodernism are now dead in a quite physical sense. This might not by itself prove that postmo as a school of thought is dead though. Still, as H. P. Grice says, in "The Life and Opinions of H. P. Grice", "we should treat those are great and dead as if they were great and living" -- or words to that effect. *This may be correct as a general point, but the intellectual stance of the postmodernists is (judging by their own statements) so closely tied to the historical period in which they perceive themselves to be living that, if that period happens to be over, this would at the very least call for a re-evaluation of their legacy.
