radius of what? i lived a good three miles from my nearest godforsaken hellhole. which in turn was sixty miles from the nearest city. which was cork. you're not allowed in cos you're from county dublin.

Oh wait, you actually lived in a hellhole/town? Well! Lucky for some!* How many pubs and shops within a how many mile radius? one shop and five pubs within a ten mile radius? Between your hellhole and the next nearest hellhole?

County dublin, ahh the joys of satellite city/the commuter belt.


*Cue monty pythonesque four yorkshireman style descent into how terrible and isolated their rural adolescence was!

I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night half an hour before I went to bed, drink a cup of sulphuric acid, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad and our mother would kill us and dance about on our graves singing Hallelujah.

[oh shit]

so could someone please define punk for me?
i need a sense of identity.

 

[Janer]

Punk for me is a combination of a certain type of music and a certain lifestyle, but it's mostly DIY.

 

[oh shit]

exactly like B&Q then

Punk is a music genre so stop combining laziness with a music genre

jurgen?

 

[Hott Indie Boy]

jurgen?

eh?
hope you don't mind me stealing your signature by the way.

 

[oh shit]

your modernist pisstake of foucault is a pretty neat reduction of jurgen "reconstructed dialectics" habermas. you're liadain right? you can steal the signature if you like.

heh heh. habermas has mainly gone under the radar here so far. must have a look at him if that's true. useful for thesis 'n all. and yes, i am what liadain has become !ninjaaaa!ninjaaaa!ninjaaaa

 

[oh shit]

he basically attacks post-structuralism for what he terms its "performative contradictions". i presume you're approaching the whole thing from a linguistic/literature point of view rather than ethico-political?
do you hate derrida too?

from a literary point of view yeah, but my background in linguistics and interest in lefty politics would definitely inform everything i write.
derrida also went under the radar for the most part. but i'm pretty sure that there's actually a hell of a lot outside the text.

i don't actually hate foucault, his stuff about the archaeology of knowledge totally struck a chord with me, it's just he's very bloody tough sometimes.

 

[oh shit]

um, there isn't actually, when you consider what derrida gives as the "text". deconstruction in itself is a fairly sound concept, and it allows the reader to perceive the contradictions and "blind spots" within various metaphysical philosophies/texts.

the problem is that when you approach language (signs) as nothing more than a series of relations, you are forced to deny any material connection to a "real" signified thing with concrete properties. and so it's hard to establish any normative ground to stand on... essentially, the deconstructionist reader is always privileged, always one step above any attempt to make a concrete suggestion.
interestingly, it was michel foucault who made that particular criticism.

foucault got a lot easier after i read "what is enlightenment" (a sort of answer to modernist critics, in which he rejects "enlightenment blackmail" and argues for permanent critique of the present) and "the subject and power" (could only find an excerpt online which isn't great, but the whole piece is basically him breaking down his method from where he started, also a great passage on the "pastoral" power of the modern state).
