I have to work out my idea on post-col a little longer before I post on that, so I did a quick one on semiotics.Jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09371893596402673898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3759353.post-30642262913755124422011-06-09T09:52:30.741-05:002011-06-09T09:52:30.741-05:00May I add that British Cultural Studies (Stuart Ha...May I add that British Cultural Studies (Stuart Hall et at.) are not the same as however they were translated and adapted into the American academia (where everything goes)? And I say this as somebody whose main scholarly interest are Latin American crime fiction and Melodrama.<br /><br />By the way, as hard as I try, I don't see how semiotics (your current post) can be equated with post-colonialism (your supposed next post).Spanish profhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04248530328973177920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3759353.post-54806685512287218342011-06-09T01:52:58.405-05:002011-06-09T01:52:58.405-05:00I just summarized this to a friend and realized th...I just summarized this to a friend and realized that what you've done here is a nice bit of classic deconstruction.<br /><br />(Which makes it amusing that my validation word for this comment is "destorka.")Andrew Shieldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02804655739574694901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3759353.post-47823043435670321692011-06-09T01:50:00.609-05:002011-06-09T01:50:00.609-05:00History of Consciousness is at Santa Cruz (or at l...History of Consciousness is at Santa Cruz (or at least there was a His Con program there back in the 80s).<br /><br />Jonathan, you've nicely highlighted a tension in the whole Cult Studs paradigm here. The idea (or the hope!) seems to be that the market will generate products that are at least implicitly critical of the market. The market is expected to undermine itself. <br /><br />And that, of course, is absolutely classic Marx (not even Marxism, but Marx): the withering away of the market (if not the state).Andrew Shieldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02804655739574694901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3759353.post-84913591831552736282011-06-08T18:54:10.437-05:002011-06-08T18:54:10.437-05:00Yeah, but Cultural Studies has the funniest abbrev...Yeah, but Cultural Studies has the funniest abbreviation ever: Cult Studs.<br /><br />A friend of mine got a Masters or maybe even his Doctorate at a History of Consciousness program.
