Postmodernism kills (or tries to kill) a certain vision of the author, the one in which the author is a solitary artist dedicated wholly and exclusively to the art. This is the vision that makes the professor a kind of priest of the text, an authorial surrogate declaiming on the definitive meaning of the text. That's the author that gets killed.<br /><br />Your continuation is actually thoroughly postmodern: "I realize (this insight is from the sciences) that humans are embodied, and the things that we produce leave our cognitive imprints, and these imprints are bound to cognitive maps from cultural worlds in which the productions were made. There is no mind, no knowledge, that floats around out there. Knowledge is made in us and we make it from within the webs of knowledge culturally shared by us in very specific locations."<br /><br />Forgive the plug to my own place, but it seems to me that critics of postmodernism often are actually thoroughly postmodern--see <a href="http://larrytanner.blogspot.com/2011/04/kugels-htrtb-part-8-can-you-have-your.html" rel="nofollow">here</a> and <a href="http://larrytanner.blogspot.com/2009/12/postmodernism-apology.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>.<br /><br />I would really like people to re-think what we mean by postmodernism and what the term refers to.Larry Tannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14642725101009530480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6536854065433425156.post-61554536018341263842011-11-09T02:32:17.059-08:002011-11-09T02:32:17.059-08:00Hi,
