care to delineate that for me sensei



yeah postmodernism is everything bad, poststructuralism is everything salvageable. so baudrillard goes in one box, foucault goes in the other. its like splitting up.

one thing that's interesting is that thinkers thought of as poststructuralist (derrida, foucault, deleuze) are not really thought of as similar in france. like they have radically different systems of thought that aren't really commensurate. but american cultural theory started to group them together because they sort of received them at the same time and often used them together, considering them like. so like you can't really come up with a simple definition of poststructuralism that would please everyone.

zizek compares this to how someone did research on film noir and found that there is no simple definition of noir that encompasses all films that are generally known as noir, but people still can usually identify a noir film. but there is still a sense that there is such a thing as noir, just as there is such a thing as poststructuralism. but the beautiful thing is that zizek is showing that poststructuralism is basically defined in a poststructuralist way, which is pretty.

i had to write an essay about baudrillard a couple weeks ago and as far as i can tell his political/philosophical project is "welp we're fucked, capitalism rules everything around us and always will" so im pretty surprised he's not more popular here

it's impossible for capitalism to reign as the dominant social-economic system forever due to global warming and resource scarcity

in america, i think it will revert back to a feudalistic system, where capitalism is gradually edged out, though, i don't think capitalism will ever completely be removed from the governing social-economic system

america has never been feudalistic, attempts by the french to transfer feudal political structures failed miserably
