Are you sure it makes sense? I guess I'm just not very bright. Try the Sokal book, it's not only fascinating, but it's funny, and I think you would really appreciate it. :)Aethloshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10943629916231138113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16010478.post-1138412279673343062006-01-27T17:37:00.000-08:002006-01-27T17:37:00.000-08:00ALSO >>>> It's great to see this idea expressed so...ALSO >>>> It's great to see this idea expressed so well >>> "Instead, let’s think about the queer community as something through which we unite in order to protect and defend our ability to express our sexual dissent.

I dress down the language of queer theory because nothing means anything if it can't be stated in plain terms that other people can understand. Having said that, it's also possible to teach new concepts that you DO want to use in plain terms. Not everyone will get it, but many more will. And you're also correct that too many theorists can't turn their ideas into praxis anyway. That's another test of good thinking: the SO WHAT? test: if they can't state what should be DONE differently, then how much of our audience should they really command? Take care...see you again soon!Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07463228745621132957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16010478.post-1138410275427302962006-01-27T17:04:00.000-08:002006-01-27T17:04:00.000-08:00I'm sorry but I don't think bad writing is smart.I'm sorry but I don't think bad writing is smart.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
