Dear [log in to unmask]: But if they had called it *just* "Cinema & Postmodernism" you would have never posted such an interesting and polemical piece. So, you see, there's good in everything. :-) Sounding French while speaking English? Well, this made my day. I am not sure I agree with all you say, but I certainly like the tone. I did an orals field on Postmodernism and American Culture (that's what I titled it, I swear) and the more I read, the less sense it made to me. So, I decided to talk precisely about that. About the fact that it does not make sense. Stop making sense & take me to the river.... Gloria Monti Yale University
