Jon -
I definitely appreciated the balance of the lecturer's animated style
and a seemingly accurate/complete description.
I have a hard time dismissing more than the Snarky part of PoMo
theory/culture, even though I'm not an adherent in any obvous way.
I appreciate your observations here: I reacted to Derrida from the
start (my first encounter 20 years after he wrote/spoke) but this guy
helped relieve that with his treatment.
