Hi all. I'm currenltly trying to pierce together an awful paper on the intersections of post-modern language theory (Derrida, Foucault, Saussure etc) and the concept of cybersexuality (gender in cyverspace and it's presence/absence). Does anyone have any good resources on bare-bones post-modernism? Thanks in advance.

P.S. - I'm listening to songs from the muppets...this is how much help I need.
All i can offer is sorting through my box of college notebooks @ the house....i know we dealt with some aspects of PM language in a couple classes, but i doubt anything i still have could be applicable.....

...given i was in college in, like, the Victorian era :wink:
*curls up into a ball and weeps* I appreciate the offer. I think I've written myself into a hole, and cannot escape. Instead of writing my way out of the hole, I think I'll just waste more time on hipbase.

Wow, that is what I wrote my Doctorate Thesis on...what a coincidence.
