Yes, I guess you are right...
I just don't like when Foucault or Bourdieu are being connected with
postmodernism, because this atrocious train of thought doesnt have much to
do with old structuralism of french school. It is gaining- without credit-
theoretical background, and excellent works in social critics performed by
Bordieu and Foucault or Levi Stross are being discredited.

Hi Andrej,
what do you really want to say with your message? I guess you donīt want to
prove that the left canīt laugh? ... why care about "tiny problems" -- just
laugh about trunk problems; they donīt harm anybody.
Take care,
Frank
