If not, this is a perfect example of everything that has gone wrong in some quarters of the humanities. Pseudo-intellectual bullshit that means nothing.
That said, while purposely reading too much into things for comic value, it does all make sense if you follow the article's logic of things. You could take a lot of it at face value.Scrumpmonkey said:For those who didn't 'get' the article, it's meant to be dense.
This is not a serious article.
It's a pardoy of over-intellectualising something that is not very intelectual i.e. a hat wearing angry sweary man who hates stuff. The language is meant to say very little but in very big overinfated words. I also detect a slight amount of self mockery of the escapist who tend to do very in depth analysis which can easily (but usually dosen't here at the Escapist, it's been very well done) stray into pointless chin stroking and posturing.
It's hard to tell sometimes. You wouldn't believe the drivel you can find in academia. . .GonzoQTortilla said:Yeah, its a joke, that's the point.Heraklitus said:This is a joke, right?
