> I'm sorry but I am ignorant of the term post-structuralist. > Could you explain, please? Discussing post-structuralist theory would probably not be appropriate to this list. IMHO, there are four figures who hover constantly about the 20th-century: Darwin, Freud, Einstein, and Derrida. The last figure is a French philosopher (still alive) who, I suppose, could be called the father of deconstruction, ie, post-structuralism. Might I suggest you read an explanatory work: _Deconstruction: Theory and Practice_ by Christopher Norris. > > "The true name of the game is power to define and hence control people's > > perceptions of reality." --Philip K.

Since I am a trufan of PKD, a Dickhead, if you will, I feel compelled to tell you that although the films play with reality, PKD played no role in developing their scripts; and, in fact, Ridley Scott's _Bladerunner_ is radically different from PKD's novel, _Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep_. _Bladerunner_ is perhaps more akin to William Gibson and the entire Cyberpunk movement in SF literature. If anyone ever chooses to make a film of _Neuromancer_, I'll be the first in line to see it. Of course Scott would be the obvious choice to direct; on the other hand, now that I think about it, with _Bladerunner_ it has to a certain degree already been made. Does anyone know if a studio or whoever has optioned the rights on _Neuromancer_? Patrick [log in to unmask]
