If this is what post-modernism is: "Postmodernism asserts that the meaning of any text (where the term 'text' is taken to mean any system of meaning of representation) is constructed contextually and is contingent. It emphasizes the fractured and 'heterogeneous' nature of the social, natural and literary worlds. Methodologically, it often focuses on questioning the inherent presumptions and concepts which underlie any ideological system. It is most commonly associated with the work of the French intellectuals: the philosopher Jacques Derrida, the philosopher and historian Michel Foucault and the psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan. It tries to give you methods to implement "question everything!"" Then it seems pretty cool.

see, Foucault and Derrida are sooooo flipping different to me. Perhaps because he's more grounded in history, Foucault stuff isn't word salad. (or what feels like word salad to me). It looks at the human condition and discusses it.

Derrida, Sartre, Boudrillard just make me read, and reread, and read a third time adn say "did you say anything in that sentence". It feels as if it were a giant in joke, with everyone knowing the punch line before you get there, so you skip all the informative stuff.
