Alright, i admit i was initially horrified by the mention of Fodor, but I
was also
practicing my kinder gentler Diane, and so waited to see what the point
was...
but alright. so we ARE talking about the same Fodor
and i MUST say
"post-structuralism"
if only to suggest that while simple
(heterosexual white male aieeeeee)
"models"
make sense, they don't actually explain complexity or difference or
anything outside a predictable white boy universe.
and as redundant as that might seem, or as obvious as it might be...
YIKES!!!!!
Fodor?
please.
if we're going to launch into academic aristrocrats, let's do HARAWAY or
BULTER
before we slip backwards to Fodor, eh?
yikes,
diane

"As he half dozed the thought struck him of what it might be like to
record the reality of things,
matched with the thoughts and impressions it brought forth.
To find the edge on which the interior met the exterior space...
If he could keep some sense of how things really were,
he might retain a little of it over time.
The past was always disguising itself, disappearing into the needs
of the moment. Whatever happened got replaced by the
official story or competing fictions."
