Printculture readers who enjoy making themselves unhappy will enjoy, I believe, the comments responding to Stanley Fish's latest column, a review of a book on the effect of French theory (which I have called “Freedom” theory since 2003) on the American academy. Fish's own piece strikes me as, in general, not bad.
Seriously.
I thought I had developed an immunity to this stuff, so I took the plunge. Guess I know what I'm writing about tomorrow, assuming I'm recovered by then . . .
It's French. It's Theory. What more do you need to know?
